The pencil takes 1.1mm (or "thick") leads, which it extends via the traditional twist mechanism, as is often the case with Eversharp, you will have to push the leads to make them retract. We'll include a small pack of leads.

Nib FLEXIBLE FINE Eversharp Gold Seal nib is 14k. Excellent hairlines, with line variation from a thin fine to broad. See writing sample below.
Condition Excellent + condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a stunningly beautiful set with great shine and lovely classic patterning. The fountain pen barrel has marks caused by the cap lip and well as light to some moderate scratching. There's one cap lip crack that appears to have been repaired, still we do not recommend posting this pen. The lever has some pitting along the edges and two deep scratches on the face. The cap has primarily light scratching with some more moderate scratching toward the top. The cap bands (two) and clip have light scratching but no plating wear. They are shiny gold. The mechanical pencil is excellent with just some light scratches. There is a black mark to the right of the clip with a mark inside it. The four thin trim rings have small scratch marks but they are nice and golden. The clip has some light plating wear above the ball end and some tiny scratches along the left side. The imprints are clear on both pieces.
