Condition Excellent + condition. No personalization and very little plating wear. The pattern looks great. The imprint is very clear. The lever bar has brassing along the sides. There are some small dents at the end of the barrel, and a tiny bit of plating wear around the edge. The top of the cap has one shallow dent. The gold overlay on the section has some brassing, and the very front of the section has a rough edge. It's fully restored and working well.
