Condition Very nice condition for this large, brightly colored, classically designed pen. We would grade this pen as excellent if it were not for a crack on the cap lip that goes to the cap band. The barrel has some fading that can be seen when the cap is removed. It has marks caused by the cap lip and moderate to some heavy scratching. It has various little marks and scuffs. The black blind cap has some bite marks. There are a few small round divots between the lip and the cap band. Overall, the cap has light wear. The cap band has microscratching and one tiny patch of plating wear. The clip has plating wear on the ball end and some tiny dots of pitting along the top and along the cap ring. The top black piece has a small indentation along the top edge. The imprints are clear.
