Condition Excellent condition for this colorful, classically designed pen. The main flaw is that the barrel has heavy scratching under the cap threads with some deep slashes of scratching. The remainder of the barrel has light to moderate scratching that is difficult to see because of the rich coloration. The cap has light to moderate scratching with a small deep scratch starting at the cap lip (it is not a crack). The cap bands have light scratching but no plating wear. The clip has spots of plating wear on the front face but it is golden and shiny overall. The clip band has plating wear and some dots of pitting along the top edge. The top black jewel looks nice. The imprints are clear.
