Condition Very nice condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a classic pen in a nice color with good barrel transparency. The barrel has moderate scratching as well as marks caused by the cap lip. The heaviest scratching is near the end of the barrel but there are some longer scratch marks in the center. The cap has heavy scratching at the top and some large scratches on either side of the clip. Scratches are difficult to see because of the patterning. The cap bands have plating wear. The clip looks very good except for the band that holds it which has plating wear. The jewels both have scratch marks. The silver tassie at the end of the barrel has tool marks in the metal. The imprints are clear.
