Color Velvety, shiny black. 1/10 12k gold filled cap with an arrow clip in a pattern of converging lines. Pearlescent cap jewel.
Nib FINE gold nib. The nib sticks out further from the hood than we usually see, and we were a bit concerned about ink flow. We gave the nib a good test with ink, and there were no issues.
Condition Excellent + condition with no cracks, dents, or dings. This is a velvety black, shiny pen with a glowing cap in a classic design pattern. The barrel has light marks caused by the cap lip and a few light scratches here and there. The hood/section has a little chip on the underside of the opening (see photo). The cap has microscratching throughout. The clip is excellent. The clip ring has some small scratches. The pearlized jewel is perfect. The imprints are clear.
