Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a nice-sized pen in a subtle, lovely shade of grey, with great shine. The barrel has light scratching with marks caused by the cap lip. The cap looks great with just some microscratching. The clip is perfect. The clip ring has some pitting along the bottom edge. The black jewel is perfect. The imprint on the barrel is a bit faded, but it is readable. The imprints on the cap are clear.
