Color Navy blue body with a 1/10 12k fold filled, lined cap with a long arrow clip and a pearlescent cap jewel. There is a narrow gold trim band at the end of the section hood; previous versions had a clutch ring here that functioned to keep the cap attached, but the ring here is only decorative, not functional.
Nib FINE gold nib. Good tipping, very smooth and symmetrical.
Condition Very nice condition with no cracks, dents, or dings. This is a dark navy blue, shiny pen with a nice gold filled cap. The section has a lot of chipping around the edges of the feed and a section of heavy scratching. The barrel has moderate scratching. The cap has moderate microscratching all over that affects the shine. The clip has some plating wear along edges and light microscratching. The cap ring has brassing, a tad of pitting along the bottom edge, and moderate microscratching. There is a "3" etched on it. The pearlescent cap jewel has a dark halo around the center, but it is not scratched. The imprints are clear.
