Color Emerald Pearl body and cap with gold plated trim. It has alternating pearlescent green bands and semi-transparent amber bands. The cap has a black cap jewel and a chevron patterned cap band just over 1/8". It has a blue diamond clip. The blind cap has a black jewel and the section is black.
Nib MEDIUM CURSIVE ITALIC 14k nib. It is smooth and firm with nice tipping material. It has been ground in-house here at PSP for line variation. Please see the writing sample below. The surface of the nib is scratched, but this is not something that affects the writing experience.
Condition Excellent condition. The imprint on the barrel is partially worn but legible. There's some sort of mark around the date code that makes it hard to read. The blue diamond is a bit worn and there is plating wear throughout. There's a few marks on the barrel and the aforementioned scratches on the nib. It is fully restored and working well.
