Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. The barrel is personalized with the name "L. Frey". The cap and barrel have light scratching. The end of the barrel has some brassing around the edge. The cap lip also has some tiny dings, though it does not appear to be misshapen, or scratching the barrel of the pen. The ring-top is excellent. The imprints are clear.
NOTE: we do not recommend carrying this pen on a chain or by the ringtop mechanism. The cap does not screw on completely securely to the barrel, and you could lose the pen. The cap stays on well and does not come off during normal usage, but if you pull on it the cap will come off. The threads inside the cap appear worn down, and are unable to lock onto the threads on the barrel of the pen.
