Filling System 1.1mm leads. You feed the lead from the tip. It's a tight fit, but once you get the leads started they push in relatively easily. You pull out the top piece and turn it to extend the leads, then push the top piece back in. To load the leads, pull out the top piece and turn it until the mechanism is as far back as possible, then carefully push in the lead. We will include a small tube of 1.1mm leads.
Color 900 Silver, marked near the end of the barrel. This means that it's composed of 90% silver, and 10% some other metal.
Condition Excellent condition for this intriguing little pencil. There is handwear and scratching. The engraved surface pattern is clear. There are shallow dents near the cone, either from teeth or some sort of tool. The ringtop hardware is strong.
