BOTH OF THESE WRITING INSTRUMENTS ARE BRAND NEW AND HAVE NEVER BEEN USED .... EVER! TO BE SAFE, THE INK CARTRIDGE HAS BEEN REPLACED ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND STILL WRITES WELL.
ORIGINALLY, THEY CAME IN THEIR OWN BOXES, BUT, THESE WRITING INSTRUMENTS WERE PLACED INTO A SINGLE BOX AS THE MANUFACTURE, PELIKAN PEN, DESIGNED THESE RETAIL BOXES TO ACCOMMODATE TWO (2) WRITING INSTRUMENTS..... AS YOU NOW HAVE HERE.
THESE P'3130'S ARE UNIQUE WRITING INSTRUMENTS .... DR. PORSCHE, BACK WHEN THEY ORIGINALLY DESIGNED THE FRONT END TORSION BARS FOR THE 356 AND LATER THE 911 MODEL, HE USED A SINGLE ROUND BAR OF STEEL AND ADDED GROVES TO THE ENDS SO THEY COULD TWIST THESE BARS TO ALLOW THE TORSION TO BUILD UP AND RELEASE AS NEEDED. THIS TWISTED STEEL THEORY/METHOD IS WHAT IS USED IN THE DESIGN OF THESE P'3130'S.
EACH BARREL HAS 17 STAINLESS STEEL RODS WHICH ARE AFFIXED TO THE BASES ... SO WHEN THE BARREL IS TWISTED, THESE RODS RESIST THIS AND DEPENDING ON THE WRITING INSTRUMENT (THE PEN OR PENCIL) THE BARREL WILL EITHER SNAP BACK TO IT'S ORIGINAL POSITION (THE PENCIL) OR COMPLETE TWIST TO AND SNAP TO THE OPPOSITE SIDE .... THIS IS USED IN THE PEN WHICH ALLOWS THE TIP OF THE INK CARTRIDGE TO BE LOCKED EXPOSED OR LOCKED INTO THE BARREL ITSELF (AS STORED).
I TRIED TO SHOW THESE RODS STRAIGHT AND PARALLEL TO EACH OTHER IN ONE OF MY PICTURES AS THIS OCCURS WHEN YOU TWIST EITHER ONE OF THE BARRELS.
THIS MIKADO MECHANICAL PEN AND PENCIL ARE THE ONLY KNOWN WRITING INSTRUMENTS, WELL .... THE ONLY ONES WHICH I AM AWARE OF, WHICH USE THIS TORSION SYSTEM.
BOTH OF THE POCKET CLIPS ARE DESIGNED TO COME DETACHED. THIS IS FOR THE OLDER DESK STYLE BASES WHICH HOLDS AND DISPLAYS THE SET. THIS WAS ALSO DONE SO IT CAN WORK WELL IN A LADIES PURSES.
ANOTHER CLEVER DESIGN FEATURE IS THAT "PORSCHE DESIGN" ALSO INCORPORATED A TINY "DIMPLE" INTO IT'S DESIGN. THIS IS PLACED ON THE VERY TOP OF THE BARREL AND IS FULLY EXPOSED WHEN THE POCKET CLIP IS REMOVED. THIS IS DONE TO KEEP THE BARREL FROM ROLLING AWAY OR OFF OF A TABLE. IN OTHER WORDS, THIS IS A SAFEGUARD WHICH IS BUILT INTO THE BARRELS TO ASSIST YOU IN NOT LOSING OR MISPLACING THIS P'3130. PLEASE REFER TO MY PICTURES FOR A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THIS "DIMPLE".
THE POCKET CLIP ITSELF HAS A SMALLER VERSION OF THIS DIMPLE SO IT SHOWS YOU WHEN THE CLIP IS "LOCKED" CORRECTLY ONTO THE BARREL AS THESE DIMPLES ALIGN WHEN DONE CORRECTLY.
THIS P'3130 WRITING INSTRUMENT, AS WELL AS ALL OF THE OTHER MODELS FROM "PORSCHE DESIGN" WERE DESIGNED IN VIENNA AT THE PORSCHE DESIGN STUDIO.
I HAVE HELD ON TO THIS PEN AND PENCIL SET TILL NOW. I WAS GOING TO RELEASE THIS PRIOR TO THIS YEARS HOLIDAY SEASON, BUT, SIMPLY NEVER GOT AROUND TO IT.
SO NOW IT WILL BE OFFERED UP AT A REASONABLE ASKING PRICE FOR SUCH A UNIQUE AND BEAUTIFUL PEN AND PENCIL SET.
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT MY PICTURES AS THESE DO BECOME AN IMPORTANT AND VITAL PART OF MY DESCRIPTION.
