There is plating wear along the sides of the clip, and also on the cap lip. There is a perfectly straight crack or cut in the overlay near the threads - we've got a close-up of this area in the photos. The lever bar has plating wear along the edges. The end of the barrel has some scratching, and some small dots of pitting.The imprints are clear. Fully restored and working well.
The barrel is engraved "O. W. Reynolds" (we're unclear on the first initial) - see photos.
