Condition Excellent + condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a dark chased hard rubber pen that has nice lines and crisp chasing. The coloration is a bit inconsistent. The barrel is a dark chocolate brown while the cap is closer to the original black that can be seen on the section. The cap and barrel have just a few very small scratches -- they look really great. The lever has moderate microscratching and a bit of plating wear around the circular end piece. The lever tends to fall away a bit from the barrel by about 1/8th of an inch. The imprints are clear.
