Color Gold filled in "ripple" design, made up of zigzag longitudinal lines offset so as to create a triangular wave pattern. The pen is black hard rubber under the gold filled overlay.
Nib FINE FLEXIBLE 14k Eversharp nib with good line variation. The tines spread with minimal pressure. Please see the writing sample below. This appears to be a later replacement nib, the original would have probably been a Wahl #2 nibs.
Condition Excellent condition. There is a fair bit of brassing on the last 1/4" of the barrel from posting the cap, as well as a line of brassing just below the threads. The caps fit really snugly, so brassing is almost inevitable in these areas. There is also brassing around the top edge of the cap. As with all metal pens, there are many polishing marks. No dents. The cap imprint is easily read.
