Product Name Imperial 727. This is very similar to the Imperial 777 pens; it could be that the gold filled version was 777 and the gold electroplated version was 727.

Nib Fine 14k gold V-inlay style nib. There is no nib size marking on the pen, but we judge it to be a fine.

All three pieces have various levels of microscratching but there are no significant scratch marks on any of them and no plating wear. All three white dots have slight discoloration in the center.
