Color Arco Brown celluloid. It's like a woodgrain pattern where the lighter browns seem to glow. The pen looks very different when held in different lighting at different angles. It has a Greek key pattern cap band that molds itself to the facets and has a pair of narrow bands on the top and bottom of the main band. Gold-plated trim, and vermeil (gold-plating over sterling silver) section (we are assuming that only the section is vermeil as none of the other gold colored components are marked).
Nib Fine 18k nib. The nib is two-toned with silver colored masking. The nib is springy. There is an F on the side of the nib to identify nib size. The masking looks perfect. The nib is in great condition.
Condition Superior pre-owned condition. No cracks, chips, scratches, or personalization. No scratches or chips on the cap. The nib looks perfect. The pen has handwear though and when admiring the arco finish in sunlight, you can make out the faint wear. Ships in large display box with a bottle of Omas black ink and paperwork.
