Product Name "Academia"
Manufacturer and Year This pen was made for the venerable Italian company Columbus by Yamazaki in Japan. We believe Columbus provided the celluloid material and Yamazaki did the manufacturing and supplied the nibs. Early 1990s.

Color Lapis blue celluloid with gold plated trim. The color is a marbled deep ocean blue, light blue, and midnight blue -- very beautiful.
Nib Medium gold plated nib.
Condition Near Mint condition, in box, with paperwork. The pen is a gorgeous blue. We couldn't find any signs that the pen has ever been inked. There is some very light microscratching on the cap and barrel. No cracks, chips, dents or dings. The imprints are clear.
