| Filling System |
The snorkel works in combination with the Touchdown filling system. You unscrew the knob to extend the snorkel, pull out the piston, immerse it in ink, and push the piston down. Wait 10 seconds and allow the bladder to expand and pull the ink in. Then screw the knob to retract the snorkel, and you are good to go. No need to wipe ink off of anything! The original instruction sheet is included. The pencil takes .9mm lead and it is working perfectly. |
| Color | Black with gold plated trim |
| Nib | The nib is fine, and is indicated by the chalk mark on the barrel. The nib is in virtually un-used condition with all the original tipping material. Excellent ink flow. |
| Condition |
Mint condition, perfect for every day usage or your collection. We disassembled the pen and thoroughly tested and checked it, and though it didn't need it, we replaced the barrel O-ring.The trim is perfect, no pitting or corrosion. Very shiny and smooth to the touch. |
