The cap is also excellent with no dents or dings, just a small amount of plating wear-thru on the ridges of the tassies and the clip. The blue diamond looks great, with good paint.
Included is a Parker 51 original box.
The pencil is the weakest part, and so it does not really contribute to the price. The cap has a 4 grouped-line pattern on the cap, has a few dents and is personalized, It does, however, work.
