Color Pastel Gray is a solid gray color (the photo color shows up darker than the gray color of the pen). It has a 1/4" cap band and gold plated trim.
Nib MEDIUM 14k #5 nib. It is marked M2 which indicates Medium 14k #5 nib. It has an original sticker on the ridged section marked MEDIUM. It is the correct nib for this model.
Condition Excellent + condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings and with an original nib size sticker on the ridged section. This is a shiny pen in a lovely color pattern that is easy on the eye yet stately. The barrel has light scratching, mainly long, thin scratch lines, perhaps from polishing. The cap looks good with just some light scratching and microscratching. The cap band has light microscratching and a thin line of tarnish along the top edge of the band. The clip has light microscratching and tarnish along the side edges. The imprint is legible though a bit hard to see because of the pen color.
