Condition |
Very good condition, only the lightest of scratches and handwear on the barrel. There's a short crack in the lower part of the bind (sheath) that covers the clear barrel, but this won't cause the pen to leak. We tested the filling system and it works well. The cap has issues. There is a crack on the cap edge. The texture is bumpy and a bit crazed. The imprints are barely readable. There's an imprint on the side of the barrel: "Emegê" |
