Filling System The fountain pen is a snorkel filler, which is working very well after we restored it with a new sac, O-ring, and point gasket. The pencil take 0.9mm leads which it extends via the traditional twist mechanism. It's working well, and we'll include a small pack of leads.
Color Grey bodies with chrome plated caps and gold plated trim.
Nib FINE 14k gold Sheaffer's Triumph style nib is smooth and firm with nice tipping material. The nib has a gentle "Waverly" upturn. The dark spot on the nib in the photo below was a bit of tarnish, it is not a crack or a scratch.
Condition Excellent condition. There are some slight marks and microscratching on the caps and barrels, as well as some minor marks on the pen's barrel. No chips, dings, dents, personalization, or plating wear on either pen or pencil. The pen is fully restored, and both pen and pencil are working very well.
