The blind cap has a lot of horizontal scratching. The section has the typical lengthwise scratches from capping. There's a blotch of brassing in the cap lip imprint, but otherwise the cap looks quite good. The clip has plating wear on the sides of the clip and around the arrow end. The pearlized top jewel has some crazing, but looks good. The imprints are somewhat faded, but clear.
