Condition Very nice condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a nice-sized pen with a beautiful color pattern that is shiny and appealing. The cap and barrel have moderate scratching throughout. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip. The two cap bands have light gold plating that has microscratching and wear along the edges. The clip plating is completely worn off and is heavily scratched, though the design has a nice deco look. The black end pieces look great. The imprint is clear.
