Condition Excellent + condition for this weighty solid gold fountain pen. The cap and barrel have light scratches and polishing marks. Looking at the horizontal shot, we see that the cap and barrel are just a touch misaligned, and the pen has just a touch of a bend in the middle. The cap is personalized with the name "FRANK J. GUNNING" in capital letters. There is a small (~1/8") shallow dent on the cap about 3/16" below the personalization. The top of the barrel where the cap fits over it has horizontal capping lines. The section coloration is bright and shiny black; it has horizontal capping lines. The clip looks great. The imprints are clear.
