Color Mellowed Jade Green. Gold plated trim. This was the less bright version of the jade green radite used by Sheaffer. There's some minor discoloration toward the end of the barrel, but otherwise the color is very uniform.
Nib 14k Lifetime nib is a crisp fine or extra fine italic. It is large and in excellent condition with a lot of tipping material. No flex. Custom ground nib, we did the work here at PSP. See writing sample below.
Condition The pen is in excellent condition with above mentioned discoloration. No bite marks or scratches. There is some brassing on the top of the clip. No cracks on the lip of the cap (You may do damage if you post the cap on the barrel. The barrel is long and comfortable to write with, without the cap.) The imprint is crisp and and easy to read.
It has been restored with a new sac and the filling system is working well. (We'll guarantee it for a year.)
