Filling System Snorkel filling pen. We've restored it with a new sac, point gasket and o-ring, and we'll send instructions on how to use this filling system. The pencil takes 0.9mm (or "Thin") leads, which it extends via the traditional twist mechanism. Both pen and pencil are working very well, and we'll include a small packet of leads for the pencil.
Color Burgundy with gold plated trim. Both pen and pencil have 3/8" wide gold bands.
Nib FINE two-tone Triumph 14k nib.
Condition Excellent + condition. The fountain pen cap and barrel have light to moderate scratching. The barrel has some long, thin scratch lines as well as a bit of scratching near the end and blind cap. The metal barrel threads have some plating wear. There are some short cracks coming from the opening where the clip attaches. The cap band and clip have microscratching, but no signs of brassing or plating wear. The white dot looks fantastic, and has a very nice color. The mechanical pencil has light scratching all over, but looks nice in hand. The white dot is chipped. The cap band and clip have light microscratching. The cone has some brassing near the tip. The imprints on both pieces are clear.
