Color 23k electroplated gold cap and barrel with a gold fluted, or wide and deep striped, pattern. (Not the fine lines of the 727 model.) Black section.
Nib Fine gold plated short diamond nib. (This pen would have originally had a 14k nib, but we have installed a gold plated short diamond nib.))
Condition New old stock, but with damage to the clip. This is a hyper-shiny, shimmery pen that is very beautiful and classically designed. The cap and barrel are gorgeous. The clip has an obvious flaw near the end (see photos). The section has some scratches and other marks on the lower back side. Priced to reflect clip and gold plated nib. The imprints are clear. In Sheaffer box.
