The body of the pencil is decorated by fine vertical engine turned bands. Both sheath and pencil are stamped with an English hallmark corresponding to the year 1907. Both pieces are also stamped with the "Mordan" maker's mark. The sheath is professionally engraved with the Initials, "A. H. G.". Length (with pencil housed in sheath, including stirrup, but not bale ring) : 48mm. Length of pencil (fully extended) : 69mm. Nice condition. Good working order.
