Color Black and Pearl pen. This is a mix of black and a pearlescent white. The white is a cream color that ambers over time. It has a 1/8" cap band and gold filled trim.
Nib FINE 14k Sheaffer Lifetime nib. It is smooth and firm. This is one of the Lifetime nibs with serial numbers.
Condition Excellent condition with better than average color. (The barrel is slightly more discolored than the cap.) No cracks or chips, dings, or dents. These caps tend to crack easily so it's nice that there aren't any cracks. The barrel has capping and posting marks and the cap has quite a few bite marks. The imprint is easily read. It has been personalized, "Vera Hirsh," and there is some brassing on both the clip and cap band.
