Color This pen has a beautiful 12-faceted black resin body with a sterling silver cap, gold trim.
Condition New old stock condition with minor cap defects, never inked, with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. No scratches or dents on the cap. Though the pen has never seen usage, the way it was stored caused it to pick up some pin sized pits in the sterling finish of the cap. This pen has a few fine pits on the lower cap band, and a few sprinkled on the cap. Please see photos for a sense of what these look like .... our close-ups of course really exagerate the problem, so the pen looks great in hand.
The masking on the nib is imperfect, this sloppy work was done by Omas and is not the result of usage. The facets on the barrel are beautiful and the edges are perfect. Greek key pattern on both cap and section are crisp and clean. The imprints are clear. The box has definitely seen better days - the leatherette/faux leather is fragile and flaking.
