Condition Superior condition with no cracks or chips. There are some horizontal lines at the top of the barrel (from capping). Otherwise, the barrel has just some light scratching. The crescent has some small dents around the top edge, but is otherwise in excellent condition. The imprint below the crescent, near the end of the pen, has some light scratching, but is crisp and clear. The imprint on the barrel is very slightly worn but still easily readable. The barrel is personalized with the name "F. X. Dargacewski", with gold paint in the lines. The cap looks fantastic with almost perfect chasing. The cap band has a bit of brassing on the top edge. The cap band is personalized with the text "K of C, Building Campaign, 1923", as well as a Knights of Columbus badge. The clip is excellent and the imprint on it is clear.
