Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a unique, shiny, pen with a vintage appearance. The barrel has a nice viewing window that despite some scratch marks can been seen through. The cap and barrel have moderate wear scratching, especially at the top of the cap. The cap threads have some accentuated wear but they still grip. The triple cap band looks good although the third band has plating wear. The short clip has plating wear along the bottom and top edges. The imprints are clear.
