Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a very small crescent filling pen made of black chased rubber and with pretty gold trim. The chasing is slightly worn but all visible. The color has faded to a deep chocolate brown as contrasted to the dark black under the cap. The cap and barrel look nice with just some light microscratching. The crescent is nice and gold and the imprinting on it is crisp. The clip has moderate scratching near the top and along the sides. The barrel imprint is clear.
