Hero No. 565, Grey
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.
