This new Sheaffer pen is finished in deep blue with gold plated trim. This is one of the new Sheaffer "Irridescent" colours - as you turn the pen, the light catches patches of blue pearl in the cap and barrel - I have tried to catch it in the following photo:

It has a traditional screw-on cap and is fitted with a handsome 14ct gold inset nib, palladium plated to match the trim. It has a medium point.

Although the style of the nib goes back to the 1950s, this is a new model, it is an excellent writer and a pleasure to use. This is quite a big, chunky pen.

The Sheaffer Valor is a cartridge / converter filler and comes complete with the modern twist-type converter.
