Filling System Snorkel filler with a 14k gold snorkel tube. We've restored it with a new sac, O-ring and point gasket, and it's working perfectly. We'll send instructions on how to use the filling system.
Color "Pastel blue" is an aqua blue color. The body is blue with a stainless steel cap and gold plated trim. The cap has a pattern of stepped lines in it.
Nib FINE Gregg Shorthand palladium silver Triumph nib, marked G4. It has a slight "Waverly" up-turn. It's firm with nice tipping material, and quite smooth.
Condition Excellent condition. There is microscratching on the cap that slightly dulls look. The imprint is fairly worn, but still clear and legible. The section threads have plating wear. The cap has a tiny dent at the very top. The white dot is present and looks fantastic. No cracks, chips, or personalization. Microscratching on the barrel, and some small bite marks on the blind cap. The pen is fully restored and working well.
