Color The pencil was probably originally dove grey with gold filled cap and trim. The barrel now looks like a very dark grey (these pencils tended to change color over time ....sometimes they are olive green). The cap is lined with a pattern of 4 tightly spaced lines, alternating with a space, and has a pearlescent cap jewel. 1/10 16k gold filled.
Condition Excellent condition shiny, classic mechanical pencil. The barrel and cap have light wear. The cap has no dents, dings or brassing. The cone has plating wear. The pearlized jewel looks very good with just a little scratch on one edge. The imprints are clear. The cap is rather tight, but does slide off, so don't be hesitant to pull on it.
