Filling System The pen has an aerometric-like squeeze filling system called the "Diamatic Filling Unit." The pencil takes 1.1mm (or "thick") leads, which it extends via the reapeater, or cap-actuated mechanism, where you click the cap down to extend the lead, like modern mechanical pencils. We'll include a small packet of leads.

Nib FINE 14k nib is rather firm and smooth, in great condition.
Condition Superior condition, in box, with original filling instructions, and original price bands. This is an elegant, shiny gold set. No cracks, chips, dings, or dents. There is some microscratching on the pen and some light scratching where the mechanical pencil cap meets the barrel. The imprints are clear.
