The barrel and cone have light microscratching with the cone have slightly more scratching than the barrel. The cap has some miniscule dots of pitting, mainly below the end of the clip; otherwise it has some very light plating wear and microscratching -- it is shiny and pretty. The clip has plating wear on some of the edges, particularly the top edge of the arrow end. The pearlized cap jewel has darkened somewhat and has some mottling just inside the outer edge. The imprints are clear.
