Filling System Lever filler. We've replaced the sac and tested the pen and it works great.
Color Striped grey and red. The trim was lightly nickel or steel plated, but the plating is largely gone from everything but the cap band. We have yet to see one of these that wasn't worn in the exact same way!

Condition Nice condition with good looking celluloid, but the trim is worn. No cracks or chips, and a few marks but overall very good There is quite a bit of plating wear.
