Condition Excellent + condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a deeply colored, shiny, and beautiful pen and pencil set. The fountain pen barrel has marks caused by the cap lip and mainly light scratching with some moderate scratch marks toward the end of the barrel. The cap has a shiny line to the left of the end of the clip. The lip of the cap has lots of tiny microscratches. The clip looks excellent. The clip ring has a thin line of pitting on the lower edge and a bit of surface irregularity. The pearlescent jewel on top of the cap has a halo around the center but it looks very nice. The mechanical pencil is in superior condition with just some microscratching on the barrel. The imprints on both pieces are clear.
