Filling System The fountain pen has an aerometric squeeze filling system. We've cleaned and tested it, it's working well. The mechanical pencil takes 0.9mm leads. We will include a pack of leads.
Color Black body with a shiny stainless steel cap with an arrow clip, chrome plated trim, and black cap jewel as is common on Specials. The mechanical pencil has the original price and model # sticker on the barrel.
Nib FINE steel nib is smooth and firm with nice tipping material.
Condition Superior condition, in original Parker clamshell box and with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a beautifully preserved pen set with velvety black, shiny barrels, and smooth and super shiny caps. The fountain pen has marks caused by the cap lip and some light scratching on the barrel. The cap, clip, and top jewel are in really lovely condition with just some very teeny dots of plating wear along the cap band, at the end of the clip and along the top edge of the clip ring. The mechanical pencil barrel has light scratching, one long thin scratch and some blotchiness around the original price and model sticker (glue residue from the sticker). The cone has light microscratching. The cap band has some light blotchy plating wear. The top jewel is perfect. The imprints on both pieces are clear.
