Color We couldn't find the official name of this color, but it's a gray black marble or cracked ice pattern made out of auroloide. It has gold plated trim, black end pieces, and a black section.
Nib Medium Italic 18k nib. It is fairly crisp with rounded corners and seems about halfway between a crisp italic and a stub. It writes smoothly and offers good line variation. See the writing sample below.
Condition Superior condition. The trim has only a small amount of wear at the bottom of the section and the imprints are crisp. There is handwear visible at different angles and some microscratching on the cap. It looks great but there are indications that it's been used. Ships in box.
