Condition
|
Really gorgeous! This pen is hard to find in ANY condition, let alone as nice as this. The body is very nice with only the lightest of scratches, and it has been polished to be shiny. The imprint on the blind cap is very faint and just barely readable. The jewels and tassies are very good with some brassing on the edges of the tassies. There is some brassing on the tip of the clip, and some on the edge of the cap. The cap is quite nice, with only one or two light scratches and no dents. We restored the filling system, we have tested the pen and will fully guarantee it will work as it should. |
