"radarman" wrote in message ... The nib is steel color with the Parker arrow in gold and the # 1 at the base. Ed: You have a nice pen. I would just give one note of caution: please do NOT use a polish on the nib. The nib is not steel, but 14k gold. The silver color is a platinum plate over the gold (the gold arrow is simply showing through from beneath, i.e., is not plated). Anyway, it does't take much in the way of polishing to polish off the platinum, leaving you with a much less attractive (and less valuable) gold nib. Hope that you enjoy the pen. I am a Vacumatic collector and I really think highly of the pen that you found. Dave J |
