Condition Excellent condition. The very tip of the barrel seems to have been polished flat (see photo). The pen has discolored very slightly and the barrel looks just a bit more yellowish than the cap. The clip looks good. There is a spot of brassing on the cap band (can be seen on the first picture). No chips, dings, dents, or personalziation. The imprint is clear and readable. Fully restored and working well. Be careful if you decide to post this pen, this pattern is notorious for cracking,
