|
Condition |
Very nice condition, though there are some marks. On the cap there are three short deep gouges near the clip. There are a few tiny beginnings of cracks in the lip of the cap. The trim has a bit of wear on it: the dual cap bands only have hints of gold plating left, while the clip is still gold, but has a fair amount of brassing on it's edges - the same goes for the ring that attaches it to the cap. Despite their wear the barrel and cap are still quite shiny and nice, and it's working perfectly. |
