Color Deep pearly red with black strips of various sizes and gold plated trim. The end pieces and section are black.

Condition Very nice condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a nice-sized (but small) pen in a lovely, rich color pattern, and with classic styling. The cap and barrel have moderate to some heavy scratching. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip and heavy microscratching just above those marks. The cap has enough surface scratching near the top that it dulls the pen finish. The cap band has short horizontal scratches and some discolored small blotches of plating wear. The clip has plating wear, pitting, and has a slightly green tinge coming through. The black top jewel and the black end of the barrel look very good. The gold imprints are crystal clear.
