Color The barrel is Cordovan Brown body. It has a 1/10 12k gold filled cap and cone section. The cap is lined with a pattern of vertical parallel lines, and has a pearlescent cap jewel
Condition Very nice, there are a few scratches in the pearlescent jewel, though no texture difference on the surface.

There is a noticeable amount of handwear on the barrel but no major scratches.
