Color Green, brown, and gray stripes alternating with transparent green and yellow stripes. It has a blue diamond clip, a black cap jewel, and a "chevron" style cap band.
Nib FINE two-tone gold nip is smooth with nice tipping material. It has a bit of give to it. The silver colored masking is very thin and has worn off completely on the tines.
Condition Excellent + condition, with great trim. There's a few marks of plating wear on the cap band and on the tassie around the cap jewel. The cap and barrel have some light scratches but no major markings. The barrel transparency is good but the two tone nature of its transparent portions imply ink staining. The imprint is legible. There are no cracks or chips, dings, dents, or personalization. The pen has been fully restored and it's working well.
