Condition Excellent condition, near mint. There are some signs of light usage on the pen. No cracks or scratches. The leather box has a small scuff on the edge, about 1" wide, and we've included a detailed photo of this area. On the interior of the box, the lining has separated from the inside of the case on the underside of the lid, due to the weight of the portfolio and literature that's housed there.
Included in this special Rockwell edition are a leather artist's case, wooden pen box, portfolio with 4 numbered prints, Rockwell booklet, and certificate. The prints are reproductions of illustrations that Rockwell created for Parker, and all four were featured as advertisements in the Saturday Evening Post. They are numbered 41/1000, matching the pen's serial number. As far as we can tell, all of the material that was originally included in this elaborate package is present. Additionally, there is a folder with some additional photos and press releases, which may have been sent to pen dealers with the limited edition set.
Please note that the packaging and accessories are really heavy - about 8 pounds.
