Color Beautiful burgundy colored plastic body with a steel cap. This is not the same burgundy color seen on US pens, it's only found on English pens and is sometimes called Blood Red.
Nib Medium 14k nib is very smooth, with lots of tipping material.
Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, dents, or dings. This is a prettily colored classically styled pen. The barrel has light to moderate scratching. At the end of the barrel these scratches affect the appearance of the surface. The cap is shiny; it has a splotch of pitting that is visible and is clearly shown in the photo below. Other than that, there are a few shiny marks above the cap lip band. The band itself has a bit of plating wear. The imprints are light, but they are visible.
