Color Transparent blue-green with 23kt Gold Plated Trim. It has the white dot above the clip and a ball ended clip. This color was called Tasman Turquoise. The photos don't do the color justice as there is more green and blue variation in the actual colorization.
Nib 18k stub FeatherTouch nib. The section is labeled "S". This pen would have had a Sheaffer/Levenger branded nib, but it's been replaced by a Feather Touch nib from the Balance series (it fits perfectly).
Condition Excellent + condition with no cracks, chips, dings, or dents. This is a deeply colored pen that is unique and pretty. The barrel has light marks at the top and end caused by the cap lip and posting. Otherwise, there is just some microscratching on the barrel. The cap, clip, and trim are excellent with light polishing marks. The white dot is perfect. The imprints are clear.
