Filling System Snorkel filler - restored and working perfectly. We'll send instructions on how to use the snorkel filling system, and we guarantee the filling system for a year from the date of purchase.
Color Black body and cap. Gold plated trim. The cap band is 3/8" wide and etched with a simple border. White dot above clip.
Nib FINE palladium-silver conical Triumph nib, labeled F4 which marks it as a fine. There is also a sticker on the section confirming this.
Condition Superior condition in box with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a velvety black, shiny pen in a classic design. There is barely any wear on the cap and barrel. Under magnification, there seem to be lengthwise microscratches on the cap and barrel, but they seem more like machining marks than actual scratching, due to the lack of wear elsewhere on the pen. The gold trim looks almost pristine, with no microscratching and just hints of polishing marks. The nib size sticker is stuck to the section, and there's a hangtag with the model and original price on the clip. The white dot is bright and nice. The imprints are clear.
