The ribs still stand with limited wear, which matters because plate wears through on the crests of the overlay first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe overlay work is French over an American pen. The gold plate carries ORIX marks, and hallmark stamps run across the barrel, the cap, and the accommodation clip, put there so the buyer knew plainly this is 9k gold plate, not solid gold; the clip itself is the French add-on style fitted locally to US pens. Underneath sits a 0552½, the full-length slender: standard length, about half the barrel width of a regular pen, with a US-stamped Ideal 2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eIt writes smooth and wet with a great smooth snapback and full wide flex, 4.5x from the unflexed line to a 5B swell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eGraded D over one dent on the back of the cap, named here because a D means every flaw gets listed. Everything else about the overlay is in incredible condition. Service fit with a silicone sac.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eTested on Tomoe River 68gsm White with Pelikan 4001 Brilliant Black.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heron's Mooncake","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47284122517692,"sku":"HM2608007","price":500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/7435\/7948\/files\/DSC03993.jpg?v=1786890623","url":"https:\/\/heronsmooncake.com\/products\/watermans-0552-9k-gold-plate-cote-droit-ribbed-overlay-2-flex","provider":"Herons Mooncake","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
