Color The "Ecorce" is a bark or brush marked like pattern in gold plating. The Place Vendome series of designs were all gold plated. This is sometimes also called a basket weave pattern. It has a dish tassie and a long arrow clip.
Condition Excellent + condition. The trim looks great and there is very little handwear aside from the ridge of the clip. The patterning is well defined and it's nicely shiny. There's a few spots of plating wear, such as right above the cap band and to the right of the clip but the pen looks very good in hand. No scratches, chips, cracks, or dents.
