Condition
|
The pen body is very nice with only fine scratches and marks. The imprint is strong and readable. The cap is excellent with no cracks. The nickel clip shows the typical wear along the edges upon close examination. The jewel is black and in good condition. The blue enamel is good on the diamond. We restored the pen and replaced the diaphragm. We'll guarantee it for the period of a year. This is a great pen which should be a dependable writer for years and years to come. |
