Color 23k electroplated gold cap and barrel with a gold fluted, or wide and deep striped, pattern. Black section.
Nib Fine 14k v-inlay nib. The section has a F on it and that matches the cap sticker. (You'll find these high end Imperials with both "long diamond" style nibs and these "v-inlay" nibs. The V-inlay nibs may indicate later production, in keeping with the electroplated finish as opposed to gold filled.)
Condition Near mint condition. Any marks you may find are minimal and the result of storage wear. It has the original cap sticker that identifies the nib size and the model. The cap imprint is clear.
