Condition Near Mint, almost new condition. We don't consider it mint/new because we know the pen has been used. It has no handwear or usage signs. The section on this pen often gets ink caught in it from people over submerging their nib when filling and there is no evidence of that here. This material despite not being smooth is very resistant to ink staining. It's a good model for eyedroppering. The pen is working well. Ships with paperwork, cartridges, and the leather pen case that can only be obtained with the purchase of a pen. The similar case on the Franklin Christoph website is a different color.
