Condition Report: Great overall condition for its age and type, there are light surface marks, very little signs of use. I can see no evidence of alteration or repair.

It does have the original lead.The pencil lead twist system is in great condition as is the concertina mechanism.

If required the pencil detaches from the sheaf and can be replaced once finished with. The idea is you can use pencil instantly by moving syrup loop to the side then pull the pencil top to extend the nib out through the bottom and if you require to use the pencil for any length of time you can remove the pencil from the sheaf.

This is as good as it get folks, one for the serious collector. This is the pinnacle of antique pencils.
