Color Cedar Blue. 1/10 14k gold-filled cap in a pattern of grouped parallel lines. Blue Diamond gold-filled clip. Pearlescent cap jewel.
Nib Fine 14k nib, verging on medium, is smooth with nice tipping.
Condition Excellent condition. The cap has microscratching and some tiny marks and very shallow dings in the surface. The clip has the typical plating wear along the sides and around the open end. The cap jewel looks fantastic. Long thin scratching on the section hood from capping, and some light marks from the cap lip on the barrel. There is moderate scratching on the barrel - it looks like there used to be a personalization on the barrel which has been mostly polished away. The imprint is a bit worn but still legible. The barrel and blind cap are exactly the same shade.
