Color "Laque Red Marble" is a cloudy mix of red and red brown lacquer. The difference between the colors is less delineated than it is in the Laque Red Ronce. It has 23k electroplated trim.
Nib Stub14k diamond shaped inlaid nib. It has lots of tipping material. The section is unlabeled but it looks like a factory stub.
Condition Excellent. There is a small shallow chip in the barrel lacquer at the gold ring. Very few scratches on the clip and on the cap derby. There's just a bit of plating wear on the clutch band. The rest of the trim looks great and the imprint is sharp. The lacquer is smooth and only has that one blemish.
