Color Body and cap are hand turned from acrylic resin. The body and cap are made from a dark blue marble resin. The end piece and section are made from a solid red resin. The trim is rhodium plated. The cap band says, "Hippocrates," and the clip has a wrapped snake on it to be like the Rod of Asclepius.
Nib two tone fine 18k fusion nib. Fusion nibs are steel nibs with a gold plate attached to the surface. It is supposed to offer a smoother writing experience than normal steel Delta nibs. Supposedly, it changes the feel of the ink as you write.
Condition Near Mint condition, it may actually be brand new. There is no ink residue around the nib, on the feed, or in the converter. No dents, no cracks or scratches. The two marks above the imprint in the photo are not part of the pen. The resin looks perfect and the imprints are crisp and legible. Ships with a Hippocratica box complete with paperwork, including details on the fusion nib; small bottle of black ink; and dust box.
