Color Sterling silver grid pattern finish is one of Parker's well known patterns, called Cicelé. The trim is gold plated. (There's also a silverplate version of this pen that looks almost exactly the same, however it does not have hallmarks. This pen has the 925 hallmark on the cap.). Original tag is on the clip.
Condition Excellent condition, in box. This is a heavy pen that has a classic Parker pattern and design. The ciselle pattern on the cap and barrel is nicely outlined and crisp. The little squares near the top of the cap, alongside the clip, and along the edge touching the cap band have some tarnish. The barrel portion of the ciselle patterning has similar tarnish just under the cap lip and near the cone. The cone, cap band, clip, and clip ring all have from light to moderate microscratching. The pen has the original clip tag. The imprints are clear.
