Condition |
Very nice condition, a little better than user grade. Though the cap doesn't have any dents, there are tiny dots of pitting and wear, especially where the lines converge at the top of the cap (see photos). The body has some minor scratching on it, and part of the blind cap is a little lighter in color. The section has some scratches caused by the cap. Overall the pen has a lot of handwear, but the nib is excellent and shows only a little wear. It's fully restored and tested. |
