I was recently gifted what I believe to be a Pilot Metropolitan Taupe Lizard (see photo)

Can anyone tell me if I’ve identified it correctly?

This is my first squeeze converter. Is it opaque? If so how do you guesstimate ink levels? All my other pens have piston converters with transparent reservoirs, so you can just look.
I agree that looks to be a Metropolitan. Great pens!
As @[email protected] said, you won’t be able to see the ink level. When your line starts get get darker, thinner, and the pen starts to skip, it’s time to refill. Or if the pen has been sitting for a while, maybe a quick cleaning.
