Color The color is forest green. It's an uncommon color and very dark. The photographs make it look like an off black but in natural lighting it is a nice solid forest green. In indirect lighting it is more like a green black color. It has a lustraloy steel cap and a pearlescent cap jewel.
Nib The gold nib is a fine and writes very nicely with great tipping material. It's just a little wider than what we typially consider a fine, but not wide enough for a medium.
Condition Excellent + condition. No dings or dents on the cap, just a few slightly shiny areas. There's handwear throughout and cap marks on the section and cap caused scratches on the barrel, but overall the pen is very smooth and shiny. No cracks or chips, the plastic is very smooth. Some typical flaking of the coasting on the filling system.
