There is a visible seam on the pieces because they are made of vintage celluloid applied using the wrapped technique. According to the online documentation, the cap band and clip are engraved to honor Benvenuto Cellini, a Florentine goldsmith.
Nib Fine 14k nib. It has silver colored masking to match the trim. It is a small springy nib that writes smoothly.
Condition Superior condition, the trim looks great on all four pieces. The cones on the pencil and ballpoint have some microscratching but that's not unusual. The rollerball has a scuff mark near the cap lip and the fountain pen has some light scratching on the cap derby. No dents, cracks, chips, or major scratches on any of the pieces in the set.
