Condition
|
Excellent condition! The pen body is smooth and almost completely free from scratches and marks. The imprint is strong and readable. The cap has no bite marks or cracks. Very nice trim with minor brassing on the tip and high areas on the lower part of the clip. (If you see a dark splotch on the left side of the clip in the photos, it turned out to be tarnish and polished off, so the clip will look better than you see it in the photos.) 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. |
