Nib Fine octanium hooded nib, verging on the medium. (These Argentinian P61s have two metal dots instead of the inset arrow on the hood.)
Condition Excellent condition. This is a shiny, all-gold pen with a line pattern on the cap and barrel. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip, and light scratching all over. There are some scattered pinpoint dots of pitting and some tiny dings on the barrel. The barrel jewel looks excellent. The cap has light scratching, and some small dots of pitting, especially on the side opposite the clip. The clip has spots of plating wear on the spine of the arrow, as well as some touches of brassing all over. The top of the clip also has some plating wear. The imprints, including "Industria Argentina," are clear.
