Condition Excellent condition for this velvety black, shiny pen with bold gold trim. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip and otherwise light scratching. The cap has a small crack and a few tiny chips along the cap lip and very light scratching. We think the cap shrunk a bit, because it's tight when you put it on, though it does reach the threads and engage. This might have contributed to the crack in the cap lip. The lever has a deep scratch at the end, plating wear, a bit of pitting, and bubbling along the edges. The cap band has light brassing and plating wear. The clip has plating wear on the ball end, along the sides and across the top. There are some small dots of pitting. The small white swan logo on top of the cap looks excellent. The imprints are clear.
