Excellent external cosmetic condition with just the usual surface handling marks (see photos).  Grey Marble finish with gold clip and trim. Clip is firm and properly aligned. All gold trim is excellent.  Nib is a medium gold plated stainless steel in excellent condition apart from wear to the plating.  Uses  cartridges or a screw type filler (neither included). Dip tested and writes really nicely ( see photo of writing sample). No box.
