Hero No. 565, Green

Hero No. 565, Green

Size: Length - 137mm capped; 153mm posted.

A Slightly chunkier than usual Hero pen whose overall shape and esthetics reminds me a bit of a Sheaffer Imperial or PFM.  It has that slightly tapered cap top and barrel end.  The cap is metal and decorated with vertical incised lines.  It has a chrome plated pocket clip.  Usually, there is a metal strip on the hood starting just behind the hooded nib which reminds me a little bit of Sheaffer's inlaid nibs.  This pen has the usual Hero squeeze-bar filling mechanism.  The hooded nib is made from a steel alloy with an iridium point and writes with a fine width line.
