Color Green barrel and derby with a tan and green striped cap and gold plated trim.
Nib FINE, manifold (semi-flex) 14k nib. It looks very good, with lots of tipping material. There is an unusual horizontal area at the base of the nib where it looks like the top layer of the forged gold is flaking just a little ... it's not a crack, and won't affect the writing.
Condition Very nice condition with a few small, lighter scratches on the barrel and cap and a couple of tooth marks on the derby. There are a few small indents on the lip of the cap, but no cracks. There's just a little plating wear, just on the corners of the clip, barely on parts of the upper edge of the thin cap band, and a little on the edges of the lever. Overall the pen is looking great, with no cracks or chips. It's fully restored and working well.
There's an imprint of a few letter on top of each other on the barrel, or maybe it's a "59," a little above the lever. It's small and looks more like damage at first glance because it's a little bit worn in the middle. That's the only personalization.
