Color Vermilion body and cap with gold plated trim and a 1/4" cap band. This is one of the six colors considered most collectible. In Snorkels, Fiesta Red and Vermilion are very close in color, both a bright orange-red, but Vermilion is correct for the Admiral which was not made in Fiesta Red.

Condition Superior condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a beautifully colored (in a hard to find color), shiny pen that that looks excellent. The cap and barrel have light signs of usage. The cap has a little more wear than the barrel. The wide cap band has light microscratching and the clip has moderate microscratching. The imprints are clear.
