Condition
|
This pen is in extremely nice used condition, super clean with no blemishes. The body is really great, with minimal handwear, and no scratches. The cap is very shiny and shows very little wear, just microsrcatches to the super shiny steel surface, and it is free from dents. The nib looks great. |
