Filling System The PFM III uses a snorkel filling system. The snorkel works in combination with the Touchdown filling system. Unscrew the knob to extend the snorkel, pull out the piston, immerse the tip of the snorkel in ink, and push the piston down. Wait 10 seconds to allow the bladder to expand and pull the ink in. Then screw the knob to retract the snorkel. No need to wipe ink off of anything. The filling system works well with excellent suction. We replaced the point gasket, sac and o-ring, and we guarantee the filling system for a year from the date of purchase.
Color Black with Gold Filled Trim.
Nib 14k Medium Nib
Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a large, substantial pen with executive styling -- it is handsome and elegant and shiny. The cap and barrel have microscratching and some light scratching in places. The wide 3/8" cap band has microscratching and polishing marks, but no brassing. The clip has small touches of plating wear and tarnish at the open end and along the edges. The white dot is perfect. The imprints are clear.
