Filling System Fountain pen is a lever filler, restored with a new sac. The pencil takes thick style (1.1mm) leads and we will include a packet. Lead extends in the traditional, twist mechanism, but you have to push it to make it retract. You unscrew the small top piece to access the chamber for storing leads.
Color Blue hard rubber in a ripple design, with gold plated trim.
Condition Excellent condition. The pen has no cracks, chips or personalization. The pencil has a small gouge on the "cap", alongside the clip, which you can see in a photo below. Aside from that, the bodies and caps of both pieces are in great condition, with minimal wear. The trim is very good, with just some micro-scratching, though there's a splotch of brassing on the pen cap band.
