Color Blue marble cap and end of barrel. "Bardiglio" barrel center (certified as the same material as at the top of the Tower of Pisa). Sterling Silver trim and tower cut out on cap. The gift box comes with a 4-3/8" ivory colored replica of the Tower of Pisa (this includes a 2x2x1-3/8" grey marble base).
Nib MEDIUM 18k 1919 nib. The masking is chipping off in a few spots.
Condition Very nice condition, in black velvet with blue silk interior gift box that includes a replica of the Tower of Pisa, and with paperwork. Moving from the barrel end upwards, the blue marble end looks lovely and shiny. The two silver bands that frame the grey marble center of the barrel have some plating wear and the one closest to the end of the pen has some pitting. The "Bardiglio" (grey marble center of the barrel) has light scratching and a thin crack on the bottom edge. The blue marble cap has a crack just below where the silver lattice begins, which we have stabilized with epoxy (see before and after photos below). The cap lattice and clip look great. The top piece of the cap that identifies the limited edition numbering and maker looks excellent. The Tower of Pisa Replica is in perfect condition; there is a chip on the grey marble base. Imprints are clear.
Note crack in cap lip below (before we stabilized it with epoxy)
Here's the crack after we stabilized it......
