Condition
|
Excellent condition, really very nice. No cracks or chips. Very light brassing on the cap band, but the lever is perfect. The color is excellent. The imprints are crisp. There are a few bite marks on the end of the barrel, and also on the top of the cap. This pen writes very smoothly with a good amount of what we'd call "every day" flex. The filling system is working well, and we'll guarantee it for a year. We replaced the bladder. |
