Condition Very nice condition. The barrel has some light scratching, and there are marks from capping. There is a short (1/16" long) crack in the barrel threads, right where it meets the section - we have a detailed shot of this area in the photos. If you grip the pen on the threads, be careful not to exert pressure on the barrel. The lever bar looks great. The cap has light scratching. The clip and clip ring have brassing and plating wear. The cap band has microscratching. The overall condition of the tiny pen is fantastic. The imprints are clear.
