Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a small ring-top pen in a lovely colorful material. The cap and barrel material looks really nice fairly bright color - there's a bit of yellowing on the barrel, and the ca is slightly darkened, but overall its quite good for a pen of this age. The cap threads are kind of smoothed down, but the cap still screws on securely. The barrel has light marks from capping, and light scratching elsewhere. The lever bar has plating wear. The black piece at the end of the barrel has some scratching, but no cracks or chips. The cap has microscratching, and no cracks or chips. The gold cap bands have some touches of brassing. The ringtop hardware is securely attached.
