Condition
|
This pen is in excellent used condition, super clean with no blemishes. It would be great for daily use, but it's also nice enough to go into a collection. The body is fantastic, with no visible wear, and no scratches. The cap is very shiny and shows very little wear, and it is free from dents or scratches. The nib looks great. The pen's filling system works well and vigorously. |
