Product Name Cadet Tip-Dip
Manufacturer and Year Sheaffer USA - this model ran from about 1952 to '63, but at some point they changed their design to have a section which matched the color of the body. Before that, all sections on these pens were black.

Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a nice-sized, shiny pen, in an understated color with classic styling. The barrel has light scratching, with some marks near the imprint. The cap has light to moderate scratching, a couple with slight ink staining. The plating on the clip and cap band looks fantastic, with just some microscratching. The imprints are clear.
