Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a large, fat pen with a fantastic tortoise shell pattern and a bold cap band. It is shiny and glamorous. The cap and barrel have light scratching, most notable near the top of the barrel where it meets the cap band and on the lower part of the cap where it meets the cap band. The cap band also has some light marks and scratches. The clip looks excellent. The top gold disc has microscratching. The imprints are clear.
