Color Cardinal Red is a red lacquer broken up with black. It gives the appearance of red jasper. You also could call it, "red turquoise." The trim is gold plated. The "Cross" is written in a block font instead of a cursive script because it was made in Ireland instead of the USA.
Condition Near mint condition. It has some light handwear on the plating but the lacquer looks perfect. The CROSS -Ireland- imprint on the ballpoint is clear. No chips in the lacquer.
