That is a Montegrappa limited edition, from Italy, which is cast sterling, then hand finished. $700 is about middle of the road pricing for their pens, which can go into the thousands.
I should have gone with what I thought first and said cast.
The second picture leads me to believe that The bodies of the pen and cap are 3d printed in a wax/resin and then cast. It looks an awful lot like grow lines through out the details. The smooth parts are smoothed on a lathe after casting and then engraved. THe clip and finial are easily made and then molded and then reproduced.

off the top i could see a roseengine, casting, and cnc being the likely ways. though another thought was a flat piece of metal that is then bent and soldered into a tube
me personally lost wax casting would be easiest to do
