Apparently an Eversharp Skyline, the cover clip is missing and the nib is not hers. But I hadn't seen a Skyline that color. with that color.

I agree completely description said. The color is less common.

Right. The colour is referred to as Modern Stripe Red or Moiré Red.

 

The missing clip is a pity, Skylines of that colour are very sought after.

Unfortunately the clip isn´t that easy to replace if you don´t find a matching derby with a clip (the colour of the derby varies with the colour of the pen).

 

Finding a matching gold nib with the characteristic Eversharp banner and oval breather hole should be a lot easier. They come mainly in fine and medium but sometimes a broad turns up and there are nibs ranging from extremely rigid to very flexible.

 

The feed is definitely wrong, too. And I am not too sure about the section, but the pictures are really bad.

Yes, that color is uncommon. I have seen them go on ebay for over $200.   Well worth sending to one of the shops which repairs Eversharp pens.

The replacement of the clip can be done, it just requires some careful pick work, and it can be removed from another (otherwise junk) skyline pen.

Here is what the nib and the feed normally look like.
