Condition User grgade condition for this dark green pen that is shiny and that has some pearlization in the green chunks. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip and heavy scratching. There is an area adjacent to the imprint that looks like it might have been a personalization that was vigorously but incompletely scratched out. The cap has moderate to heavy scratching. There are some long, deep scratch marks under the cap bands, one that looks like a crack but that doesn't go all the way through. The cap bands have a lot of plating wear and the bottom one is missing from the trio. The clip has serious plating wear and pitting at the top. The black top jewel has some small scratches. The imprints are partially readable around the scratching.
