Color Burgundy body and cap. Gold plated trim. Wide, 3/8", cap band with simple border etched within.
Nib Fine palladium-silver conical Triumph nib with a nice Waverly-style tip (upturned for smoother writing). The nib has some give, but be careful as palladium is easy to spring.
Condition Excellent condition. The cap has light to moderate scratching with one longish shallow line mid-cap. The cap band is nice and shiny. The clip and white dot look great. The barrel has light scratching, with a short scratch near the cap band. The barrel also has horizontal lines from posting. There are no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. The imprints are clear.
