Nib Medium Cursive Italic 18k nib. It writes with good line variation and is very smooth. See the writing sample below.
Color Silver colored metal plated cap, section, and barrel. We're going with palladium plating based off of the lack of hallmarks. Cartier started using palladium in the late 1980s and France doesn't require hallmarks for palladium. The pen has gold plated trim and a black cabochon at the end of the barrel. The pen has a striped pattern.
Condition Superior condition. Some polishing marks and signs of usage, but no dings or dents. No chips, pitting, cracks, or major scratches. The imprints are clear. The pen looks good and hasn't been used very much.
