The visible internals are metal, mostly brass, so I think its a chromed metal body. I'm not sure of the colourways, but I know there was a "silver matte" version as well as my bright chrome. As for robust feeling. Hmmm... how about a fence sitting yes and no :) It is long and tip heavy so it sort of Kiwi-dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04092604091185842213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21675608.post-66188644150747103302018-11-22T12:52:24.779+13:002018-11-22T12:52:24.779+13:00Terrific rOtring collection, Dave. :-)

At least in the US, the concept of drafting is introduced, taught, and practiced as a 3D CAD based activity on college campuses.
