Condition Very nice condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a very shiny, shimmery pen with a pattern of stair-step short lines. The top and bottom have stepped tassies. The cap and barrel have moderate to heavy microscratching and quite a bit of small pits that can be seen in the photos. The cap band has moderate microscratching. The arrow clip looks nice. The tassies have light microscratching. The imprints are all clear.
