Color Jade green radite with black ends on the cap and barrel. Gold plated trim, double cap bands.
Nib 5-30 gold fine nib is huge with a lot of tipping material. Very little flex, but a nice soft smooth feel.
Condition Excellent condition with a few small scratches, and minor hand wear. The bottom portion of the cap is discolored (see photos) and so is the barrel where the cap closes over it. There is also a bit of discoloration at the bottom of the barrel. The trim is in great condition. The imprint looks great.
