Condition Excellent + condition for this oversized pen that has mellowed in color to a dark chocolate brown. The chasing is in superior condition and the pen is shiny and impressive. The wide cap band looks fantastic with just a small ping along the upper edge. The lever has some light plating wear along the edges and some light scratching. The clip has some wear along the sides but overall it is very beautiful, retaining its deep gold color. The imprints are clear.
