Pilot Gakken (Japan only), brushed metal, navy-blue-black section, gold-plated steel EF nib (no visible size markings, but did a side-by-side comparison with my F Pilot Prera), [C condition for vintage]. A few minor scuffs & dings on the cap, & plating wear on nib, but decent condition overall. Clip is solid and springy.
It's about a millimeter longer than a Prera when capped, about the length of a capped TWSBI 580 when it's posted, and has a lovely sleek silhouette akin to the Elites - quite light despite being metal. Doesn't take the usual Pilot converters, so it's one of those vintage Pilot situations. I really like this pen, but the nib is just too fine for me. $30 shipped
