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.
Color gray body and cap with gold plated trim and a 3/8" cap band with simple carved border. This would have been called "Pastel Grey."
Nib Fine Sheaffer's palladium silver nib. Smooth with nice tipping material. Quite firm. It is marked "F4" which matches the nib size and the material.
Condition Excellent + condition. A few marks on the cap and barrel. No cracks, chips, or dents. It's fully restored and working very well. There's some handwear and a strong imprint on the barrel.
