Condition |
Very nice condition with some minor scratching and trim wear. There are a few scratches on the cap and barrel, all of which are quite small, but take a little bit of the pen's shine away. The cap jewel is a little scratched up. The cap band and clip show some wear, with silver showing beneath many spots on the band, the edges of the clip show brassing. The inside of the pen is quite clean, so you can see it take up ink or water as it fills. Personalization: The cap is engraved "Milton Spero" (see photos). Disclaimer: You usually don't see this style of blind cap on a pen with this style of clip and cap band, but we've heared that due to Parker cleaning out their old stocks in 1942 there are many minor variations to the duovac model, so our cap/blind cap match is probably a result. |
