Color The Cosmopolitan "Oceanic" version in sterling silver with blue lacquer with black squiggles and some sparkles on the end piece of the barrel, the section and the bottom section of the cap band. The Oceanic theme in the silver is an underwater scene of fish, dolphins, seahorses, kelp, and seashells. "Oceanic" is realised in low-relief engraving, an exclusive technique which Montegrappa has perfected to achieve an engraving of varying depth with an exceptional three-dimensional quality in its details, a true picture sculpted from precious metal.
Condition Near mint condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a large-sized, beautiful rollerball pen with a beautifully intact underwater scene engraved in sterling silver. The sterling portions of the pen (cap and barrel) are excellent. The smooth silver areas (three bands on the barrel, the cap band, the top piece of the cap, the cone, as well as the clip) have light wear and polishing marks. There are two small dots of tarnish just above the top of the clip. The blue lacquer looks fantastic throughout. All imprints and hallmarks are clear.
