Color Lustraloy or brushed steel cap and barrel that was generally called "Flighter" when applied to the cap and the barrel. It has gold plated trim and metal convex jewels at either end. The section is black.
Nib FINE 14k gold nib is smooth and firm with great tipping material. We didn't find a mark on the section to label the nib size but it looks like a fine/medium to us.
Condition Excellent condition. There is a noticeable amount of plating wear on the trim as visible in the shot of the metal jewels. There is also a dent just beneath the trim to the left of the clip and some pitting marks to the right of the clip. There are additional pitting marks at the top of the barrel beneath the section. It's working well.
