This is an old item, but it appears to have been used very little and is in good condition. It's purple and silver. The color might be a bit more reddish than in the photos. Below the clip it says: PLATIGNUM MADE IN I believe it continues with ENGLAND after IN, but it's faint and I can't make it out clearly. The metal part that looks like a cap unscrews when you rotate it. Inside, after removing the eraser, there's a refill. You extend the lead by rotating the pen tip. You replace the lead from the pen tip. It functions well and writes without any problems.
