Notes | This is an inert tracer with an alternate identification method (knurled band with orange paint) for rough handling tests. This was part of a program to solve the problem of the normal tip color adhering poorly due to the production process, and thus wearing off prematurely. It was deemed too complex and costly and was never adopted. |
