Condition Very nice condition with no cracks or chips. This is a pretty, shiny pen in a deep color. The barrel and section have light to moderate scratching. The section has ring of wear, probably caused by the inner clutch assembly of the cap. The barrel has a dark line toward the end of the barrel, caused by the filling system. The cap has wear along the edge and some small scratches and shallow dings to the left and right of the clip. The imprints on the cap are clear. The imprints on the barrel are difficult to see because of the color of the pen, but they are legible.
