Condition Excellent + condition. This is a classicly designed pen with vintage appeal. The color is uniform and very strong, with no fading or staining. The lever has some slight pitting, but is largely smooth and in good shape. The ball of the clip has brassing, and the rest of the clip is in good shape. The rest of the pen is smooth and shiny, with no cracks, chips, or significant scatches. The imprints are slightly worn, but still in good shape and easily readable.
