Length The pen is 5-9/16", pencil is 5-1/16".
Filling System The pen is a snorkel filler which we have restored with a new O-ring, sac, and point gasket. The pencil takes 0.9mm (aka "thin") leads, which it extends via the traditional twist mechanism.
Color Black barrels with gold plated caps. The pencil's cone is gold plated with a nickel or chrome plated tip.
Nib FINE 14k Triumph conical nib marked F5 is smooth with nice tipping.
Condition Excellent condition. The pen shows a few small spots of wear and very minor scratches on the barrel as well as light microscratching on the cap. The pencil shows just slightly more wear in the same spots as well as some very small dents in the top of its cap, but no dents or dings on the pen. No cracks, chips, or personalization on either piece. Both are working very well and the pen is fully restored. They look great in their original box with the original instructions.
