Filling System Touchdown (vacuum) filling system - in perfect working order with excellent suction ... it makes that nice "whoosh" sound.

A working refill is installed.

Nib EXTRA-FINE 14k long diamond nib. The sticker on the fountain pen cap says "X-FINE".
Condition Excellent + condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a lovely pen set in a great, shiny darker green color, that has a classic design. The fountain pen has light wear on the cap and barrel. The 3/8" wide gold cap band has microscratching and some tiny plating wear marks. The clip has microscratching, plating wear around the white dot and pitting along the right upper side. The white dot is slightly yellowed. The ballpoint pen has some little blotches of microscratches close to the cone. The cone has a tad of surface plating wear. The 3/8" wide gold cap has light microscratching. The white dot looks nice. The imprints on both pieces are clear.
