Condition Excellent + condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a large-size, impressive looking pen in a shiny silver color and with a unique clip. The cap and barrel have microscratching all over when viewed under magnification, but in hand the pen looks fantastic. The section has some scratching from the cap lip. There is some light scratching around the breather hole. The clip has microscratches along the top edges. The Cross imprint is clear.
