Condition Excellent + pre-owned condition. No cracks, chips, scratches, or personalization. No scratches or chips on the cap. The nib looks perfect. There are faint marks on the section from the cap lip. The barrel looks fantastic. We did discover signs that the pen has been inked.

PLEASE NOTE: INTERNATIONAL BUYERS WITH WHOM WE HAVE NOT DONE BUSINESS BEFORE SHOULD CONTACT US PRIOR TO PURCHASING.
