Color 10k gold filled pen with a lined pattern consisting of three close lines and then two lines spaced like the three lines but as if the middle line is missing. We know it is the 10k gold filled version and not the 18k version due to the top of the cap. The 10k version has a solid black piece at the top with a gold inset when looking at the cap top down. The 18k version has a narrow black band and gold filling at the very top of the cap.
