ballpoint pen dupont

See how lovely this pen? I'm not quite fond of gold ornaments, but this gold barrel has stripes and enhance the clip adorned with gems. I am not sure whether they're precious stones or not.. but I think the clip is beautiful and looks sumptuous .

I enherited this ST Dupont pen from my dad last year. He had this pen for quite some time and he offered it to me. I promised to take good care of this nice pen as I remember how he used to take it everyday during his working days. So.. I better check thouroughly and clean the barrel. Need to search on the internet about this and I'll share how to look after a special pen like this.
