Color Burgundy and black marble pattern. The color is a little faded so it's a nice creamy red brown. It has three cap bands and a black domed end piece above the clip and a matching black flat end piece on the barrel. It has gold plated trim.
Nib 14k Medium Stub. The nib has a smidge of give to it but probably can't give the user a flex experience. The nib says 5N
Condition Excellent Condition. The black cap top is a little faded but the mellowed brown color of the hard rubber works well with the coloring of the rest of the pen. There is some plating wear on the edges of the clip and lever. The cap, but not the barrel, has many tiny shallow bite marks on it. They're not super visible and your hand won't come in contact with the cap when writing. The imprint is clear. Overall the pen has aged gracefully.
