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 vermeil cap with a Greek key pattern cap band.
Nib 18k Medium Cursive Italic nib. The nib is springy and offers some line variation from flex but the tip of the nib was cut for additional line variation. The nib is labeled B and started as a broad but has a finer point now. The writing still offers broad lines but from the flex and not the tip. Please see the writing sample below. Some of the masking has come off of the nib but it won't affect writing.
Condition Superior condition. No cracks, chips, scratches, or personalization. No dents or dings on the cap. On some of the peaks of the facets, the gold layer of the vermeil is a bit thin. It's not silver, but it's definitely a different gold shade than the rest of the cap. The cap has polishing marks and the body has some light handwear. It's working very well.
