One of the most recognizable Reform ballpoint pens, model 605, in its flagship pen from the era in a rare triangular body shape. The 605 model is well known for its ergonomic shape where form follows function. This is a high-quality vintage ballpoint pen, unlike the new ballpoint pens. At the era when this pen was manufactured, Reform was one of the biggest manufacturers in Europe. The pen is truly remarkable in every sense, everything that a ballpoint should be. Made out of black resin, the pen shines, and will never loose the shine. The resin is difficult to scratch and it always stays shiny. Thick gold plated front tip, clip, ring and push button will ensure the gold trimmings stay on and won't wear off. It has a perfect grip due to the special grip section, it somehow feels right in the hand. Contributing to this feel is the pen's weight, considerably heavier than most ballpoints due to the solid steel mechanism on the top of the pen as well as the metal refill. Having the steel mechanism on the top of the pen, gives the pen a great balance. This pen features a very special and precise push-button mechanism. This Reform patented push button system features a small "pin-ball" guided mechanism, where a small steel ball is guiding the push knob. This makes for a very precise push button with a distinct "click" sound. The pen is NOS, new old stock condition, never used, still with body sticker. The pen uses the standard slim metal refills widely available today and a new refill is included. A truly remarkable pen by one of the most recognized brand in Germany, Reform.
