Color Blue with white/cream striation. Gold plated trim. The 3/16" raised cap band is marked "14k gold filled".
Nib MEDIUM FLEXIBLE 14k #8 nib. Not as big as a modern #8 nib, it's smaller than modern #6. Please see the writing sample below.
Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a flat top pen in a lovely color combination. The cap and barrel have unusual surface crackling and lines that we have not seen before, unless you count the way the varnish develops fines cracks on old furniture. We're guessing it's the result of the exterior celluloid surface expansion and contraction, it seems just to be on the surface. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip. The lever looks good with just some light scratching. The raised cap band has moderate microscratching and a line of plating wear along the top edge. The clip has plating wear on the ball end and at the top. The imprint on it is clear.
