Condition |
The pen is in excellent condition with only touches of light microscratching. Very shiny and beautiful. The pencil is in good working condition, but has some deep scratches between the cap band and the cap lip, and a few more scratches. (Very little of the price is attributed to the pencil.) Both the clips are not tight to the caps, there is a small gap. |
