I remember there being a solid metal bushing between the sections, And yes I have used it as a "Field Expedient" fuse for instrument lights.
It still has the solid metal bushing...lithographed black stripes were added to the solid metal bushing at some point.
a brass spring - I wonder what the gov't pays per pen...

Not for me, I’m retired. My son will be in flight school later this summer it’s for him.
And 90 is not going to happen.?
Seiko SRP 777 - black dial. Modestly priced (~ $400) and he will have it forever.
