Filling System The fountain pen is a piston filler. It has been tested and holds water well. The mechanical pencil takes 1.1mm leads and uses a twist mechanism on the cone to extend and retract the points. It works well. No eraser, but there are extra leads in the barrel.
Color Burgundy with gold plated trim.
Nib MEDIUM gold plated steel nib. The nib seems a medium-fine but is identified as a fine towards the end of the barrel near the piston knob.
Condition Excellent + condition. The fountain pen is in better condition than the mechanical pencil. The pen has a little plating wear and capping marks. The pencil has trim wear on the clip and cone in addition to bite marks on the cone. The imprints on the pen are clear. The "Made in Germany" imprint on the pencil is incomplete. It looks like it was stamped improperly. The set ships in a gift box.
