Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. The most serious flaw is the pitting on the nib, but that doesn't affect the writing experience. This is a nice, shiny pen with good hand feel and in a rich burgundy color. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip and microscratching. The cap looks great. The cap band has plating wear. The clip and its upper band are perfect. The imprint on the clip is perfect.
