Color Blue lapis celluloid finish with gold plated trim. There are some lines engraved around the barrel, and in the grooves these still show the original red paint, especially on the mechanical pencil. There is a 1/8" gold plated cap band on the fountain pen and double bands on the mechanical pencil.

Condition Excellent + condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a beautifully colored, shiny pen and penci set that have a classic design. The fountain pen has light to moderate scratching on the cap and barrel. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip. The cap band has some brassing and a little plating wear along the edges. The ring top looks good but it is missing the gold cap that we usually see on the very top of the cap. The lever looks excellent. There are four grooves on the pen and some of the original red paint is still present in them. The mechanical pencil is in beautiful condition with just some light scratching. The cone is excellent. The two gold bands just below the ring top look great. The ring top is in excellent condition. The imprints on both pieces are clear.
