Color The color is Cocoa. 1/10 12k gold filled cap with an arrow clip in a pattern of converging lines. Pearlescent cap jewel.
Nib The gold nib is fine and and writes very nicely. It looks like it is in excellent condition with a lot of tipping material.
Condition Excellent condition. There are some light scratches on the very end of the barrel, and on the underside of the section, but otherwise just minor signs of use on the barrel. Typical light stains on the hood, typical for the lighter colors but especially cocoa. There's one tiny shallow impression and some handwear on the cap, and just a tiny bit of plating wear along the ridge of the clip, (which is much less noticeable in person than it is in the photos below). It's a beautiful pen, very elegant, and working well.
