Hero No. 240, Burgundy
Size: Length - 138mm capped; 150mm posted.
The Hero model 240 has a distinctive triangular shape nib. The barrel is made from resin as is the very comfortably shaped finger grip. There is a chromed band running down the top of the finger grip, which is also a very distinctive feature of this pen. The alloy cap has a very bold imprint below the chrome plated pocket clip. The cap and barrel are both flat ended and the barrel unscrews to reveal an Aerometric-style press-bar filling mechanism. The gold plated nib is made from a steel alloy with an iridium point and writes with a fine width line.
