Condition Excellent condition. There are just a few tiny scratches on the cap, some very small spots of brassing on the corners of the clip (see photos). There are a few very light scratches near where the section and barrel meet, and there looks to be some below-surface cracking in the cap jewel, but this pen is impressively lacking in wear. No cracks in the body, chips, or dents in the cap (see photos). Beautfiul and sleek looking pen, this finish is simply stunning and it's working very well.
