Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a deep blue, shiny pen that is elegant. The barrel has mainly light scratching, most of it microscratching. The section has typical scratches from capping. The cap has a couple of shallow dents - one is about 1/4" down from the top, and just to the right of and slightly under the clip. There another one that's about halfway down the cap, to the left of the clip and about 1/3 of the way around. The rest of the cap has light wear and scratching that somewhat dulls the surface appearance. The cap lip has some touches of brassing. The clip has plating wear on the edges and high spots. The clip ring has brassing. The top jewel has some tiny surface marks. All imprints are clear.
