Help Identifying Pen Caran D'ache Madison

[Waltz For Zizi]

Hello! I found a pen for sale a Caran d'ache Madison, but I can't find an exact photo of this one with the colored rings. Is it a special edition? Please help if you know.

And also, a price of 60 -70 $ is ok for this pen?

Thank you in advance!

That looks like the lower cost Madison (the name was used for several models) that has the gold plated steel nib. They were great pens and usually wrote very well.

 

When trying to determine if a pen is worth a certain amount, ask yourself if there is some pen you want more that sells at the same price?

I bought one for £90 with a 14K gold nib - and it was a beautiful writer - it had a bit of flex. Sadly the plastic section had cracked so it was leaking. I sent it to C'dA and they replaced it with a metal section with an 18K nib, which is nice, but wasn't as flexible as the 14K one.

This is a very nice advice. Fortunately Im not atracted to metal pens at all. Plastic/resin si my preffered material. Though I like my few laquered pens also.

Thank you for the replies. The pen does seem to have a 14k gold nib seen in the photos. But I think I might give it a pass. Pelikan's new launches are just around the corner, and I do fancy them quite a bit.
