The lever bar is brassed and pitted. The cap bands have a lot of brassing and plating wear. The clip has some light scratching and plating wear. There's a little brassing on the ball of the clip, and on the lever. No cracks or chips, dings or dents, or personalization. The imprints are all very clear and readable. The pen is fully restored and working well.
