Condition Excellent + condition, in box. No cracks, chips, or bite marks. Fountain pen: There is light scratching on the cap, with a few moderate scratches to the left of the clip. The clip has some spots of brassing along the edges, and there is some brassing on the upper edge of the cap band. The paint on the cap jewel is worn away at the very top. The barrel and section have light handwear and scratching. The imprints are clear. Mechanical pencil: The cap portion has microscratching, and some of the shiny chrome finish is wearing away around the middle. The clip has brassing along the edges and on the high spots. The paint on the cap jewel looks great. The barrel has light microscratching, but no large marks or scratches. The cone has some dulling similar to the cap portion. The imprints are slightly smoothed down, but clear. The set comes in a satin-lined clamshell type Conway Stewart box, and there's an instruction sheet as well. It's a beautiful set, and both pieces are working very well.
