Color Gold - there's an elaborate scrollwork pattern engraved into the full overlay. The body of the pen is made of brass, which was nickel-plated, and then 23k gold electroplated. The section is black. White Dot model.
Nib MEDIUM 18k gold two-toned Sheaffer nib. The nib is in excellent condition and very smooth.
Condition Near mint in box. Our inspection turned up no signs that the pen was ever inked. We see only very light microscratching on the shiny gold parts. There's no dents, dings, scratches, or scuffs. The White Dot looks perfect. The pen is housed in an elaborate cherry box, with a brass inset that is engraved with an image from W. A. Sheaffer's patent application. A bottle of Skrip ink is also present, as is a booklet documenting the model. The serial number is also noted in the booklet as well as on the outer cardboard sleeve. This is a gorgeous modern pen and a fine tribute to the vintage overlay style pens.
