The end of the barrel has some light posting marks. The cap has microscratching all over that slightly dulls the appearance. The clip looks great, with no brassing or plating wear; the pictures show some very slight residue in the "feathers" at the top, but it's not any sort of damage to the plating. The clip ring does have some touches of pitting along its bottom edge. Cap jewel is perfect. The mechanical pencil has light to moderate microscratching all over, and the cap jewel has some small surface marks. No brassing or plating wear anywhere. The imprints are all clear. Ships in Parker 51 box. The box has some light staining inside, and small marks on the outer surface, but overall looks great.
