Color Read pearlescent resin with vermeil trim. There is also a disc of rock that was sourced from the volcanic rock around Mt. Vesuvius.
Condition Excellent + with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a large-sized pen, in a stunning color combination, with great shine and pearlescence, very regal in its appearance. The cap and barrel have light handwear. The cone looks nice, but there are some scratches at the tip. Ancora trim is always a bit lumpy and hand-made looking. The band at the back end of the barrel has a tad of tarnish along some of the edges. The numbering imprint looks like it has a flaw at the end of the word Vesuvio - we think it's more of an artifact from the engraving process rather than an after-market scratch.
