Product Name Tuckaway Sentinel ("Tuckaway" is the model/style, "Sentinel" denotes the plastic body and steel cap with gold trim look.)

Filling System The pen fills via a touchdown system. We have replaced the O-ring and ink sac and it is working well. The pencil takes .9mm lead and is also working well.
Color Black bodies, with stainless steel cap and gold plated trim. The pen has a thin amber viewing window. Both the pen and pencil have extremely short clips and their caps have etchsed squiggely lines that run from top to bottom.
Nib FINE. Triumph conical 14k nib. The section has the Gregg shorthand indicator (two characters which we think probably stand for "short" and "hand.")
Condition Excellent condition for this petite, well designed, shiny set. The fountain pen has light to moderate wear on the cap and barrel. there is a small mark mid-barrel and marks caused by posting. The cap is nice and shiny even though it has some scratching. The white dot has a small crack and is discolored. The mechanical pencil has light to moderate scratching on the cap and barrel but no major scratches or marks. The white dot is perfect. The imprints on both are clear.
