Color The color is Navy Grey, It has a chrome clutch band. 1/8 14k gold filled cap in a pattern of parallel lines and an arrow clip. Pearlescent cap jewel.
Nib Medium gold nib.
Condition Excellent condition. The cap is shiny with a very clear imprint. There are a couple of subtle dents in the cap, as shown in the last photo below. There's some mild plating wear on the the clip, divided between the tip of the arrow and around the top edge. The barrel has handwear and microscratching, and the imprint has worn down. Usually when we see a worn imprint the date code is still visible, but that's not true here; this may be because it was made after 1953 when Parker stopped printing the date code on these pens. No cracks, chips, dents, or personalization. It's working well.
