Condition
|
Excellent restored condition, near mint. The body is very smooth and largely free from scratches and marks, just signs of light use. It looks like there might have some bite marks on the cap, but they have been very well polished and have mostly disappeared. The gold filled clip is excellent with no brassing except some on the sides (shirt pocket wear no doubt.). The tassie and jewel are also excellent. This is a great pen which should be a dependable writer for years and years to come. |
