Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a smallish dark blue pen with lots of shine and with classic styling. The barrel has light marks caused by the cap lip and light scratching with some heavier microscratching toward the end. The cap has mainly light with a bit of moderate scratching (near the top). The cap band has microscratching and a thin line of pitting on part of the lower edge. The clip has plating wear along some of the edges and microscratching. The clip ring looks nice and the top black jewel is perfect. The imprints are clear.
