Condition Excellent + condition, in velvet-lined Parker box, with no cracks, dents, or dings. This is an iconic pen and pencil set in a classic color combination. The fountain pen section has light scratch marks made by the cap. The barrel has light to moderate wear and scratching, with a few extra scratches toward the end of the barrel. The gold cap has microscratching, but no dents or noticeable scratches. The clip looks great. The Blue Diamond looks great. The clip ring looks good. The pearly jewel looks fantastic. The mechanical pencil has light scratching on the black barrel. The gold cap has microscratching along with a few small to medium scratches. The clip looks good, though there is a tiny odd spot on the right side near the top - it's kind of an oval-shaped spot that's off-white colored, and almost looks like a little drop of resin or paint. Otherwise, just light scratching and age wear. The clip ring (marked 14k) looks good, though there is some surface unevenness. The pearly jewel has a tad of mottling, and one light scratch. The imprint on the fountain pen is clear. The box is in good shape, with light shop wear and aging.
