Condition Excellent + condition aside from some minor brassing on the edges of the upper corner and on the parts of the ring which wraps around the cap jewel. There are tiny spots of early brassing on the triple cap bands as well. There's just the slightest hand wear on the rest of the body and cap. No cracks, chips, tooth marks, or even real scratches on the body of the pen. The nib has a scratch like indentation. The imprint is very clear and sharp. This is a handsome pen.
