Filling System Snorkel filler with an angled snorkel tube. The cut on the end of the tube is based off of the nib. We've fully restored it with a new sac, O-ring, and point gasket. Works very well. Guaranteed for one year from date of purchase.
Color Light grey body and cap with gold plated trim and a 3/8" gold cap band. This would have been called "Pastel Grey." White dot above clip. Black ridged section.
Nib FINE Sheaffer's palladium silver nib. It is marked "F4" which matches the nib size and the style/material.
Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a prettily colored light grey pen with beautifully contrasting gold trim. The cap and barrel have light to moderate scratching. The wide cap band and clip have moderate microscratching. The white dot has microscratches on it. The imprints are clear.
