All the pens are piston-fill, new-old-stock, mint and unused. The box has some signs of age here and there. Black wood (ebony?). As you can imagine, these sets are awfully scarce, especially with mint pens.

Signed “The King 585 3” medium, triple-flexible nib. An outstanding pen. A tad of brassing to the clip ball and the very back of the lower narrow cap band, otherwise near mint+
