Color The color is Forest Green, and it's one of the harder to find aerometric colors. It's a very dark green that looks close to black in poor lighting. It has a chrome clutch band. It has a Lustraloy or brushed steel cap and a pearlescent cap jewel.
Nib Very smooth gold nib in fine. Excellent with a lot of tipping material and a good shape. This is a lovely nib.
Condition This pen is in very nice condition. No cracks, chips, dents, deep scratches, or personalization. The pen's filling system works well and vigorously. There is a worn area just to the left of the tip of the hood which can clearly be seen in the photos below; this is usually caused by drawing lines using a ruler as a guide. There are some marks on the clutch ring and consistent handwear. There is a line of shiny steel in line with the end of the clip and a few other tiny marks of finish wear. The worst blemish is a mark of pitting to the right of the clip.
