Color: Silver Type: Ballpoint pen Features/Material: Twist mechanism Ink Color: 1 color Comes with a warranty, which is a lifetime guarantee. Vintage from the 80s, about 40 years old. New, unused, and has not been test-written. I thought it would become a used item if I test-wrote it(*´ω｀*) Therefore, I believe the ink is full, but I won't know until I try writing with it. If you have an ink cartridge, you should be able to write immediately after replacing it. The silver part is stainless steel. The gold part is either 18k gold or gold-plated, I believe.
