Color Dark blue lacquer with gold-plated trim. Élysée's Chinese lacquer process had several steps, the first being engraving the pen body with impressions that would later be filled with lacquer even with the surface of the pen. The lacquer is then inlaid into these impressions and the surface is polished smooth and flush. Once completely smooth, the exposed metal is plated.
Condition Excellent condition. Some brassing along the edges of the clip and end of the barrel. Slight plating loss in the letters engraved on the cap band. The gold-plated band around the front of the section also has brassing. There are no cracks, chips, dents, dings, personalization or any serious scratches. Fine scratches and polishing marks. The imprints are clear.
