Condition Very nice condition with no cracks. This is a shiny, satin-y pen in a dark color with pearly elements. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip and light scratching. The black barrel end piece looks great. The cap has light scratching with some small marks near the top (they appear to be polished bite marks). There is a crack that travels down from the clip ring for a little less than 1/4". The black top of the cap has some small cluster scratching. The nickel (?) plating on the trim is quite worn. The imprints are clear.
