Color Metallic brown lacquered cap and barrel with rhodium-plated trim. It's a beautiful, reddish, coppery-brown color!
Nib SOFT FINE nib marked 14k SF is smooth with lovely tipping. These nibs are not super flexible when compared to a vintage fully flexible nib, but they are much more flexible than most modern nibs. They are very pleasant to write with and flex easily.
Condition Near mint condition, in box, with paperwork. There is microscratching on the lacquer portions of both cap and barrel. The end finial has small scratches around the edge, and the cap band has some tiny scuffs around the middle. The clip looks fantastic, almost perfect with no polishing marks. This is a large-sized, well-weighted pen in a beautiful metallic color that is very shiny. All imprints are clear.
