Condition Excellent condition. There are some faint scratches on the inside of the section lip just beneath the nib but it looks nice (the whole section and barrel are made of clear green plastic). The clip and cap band both look great, with no brassing or plating wear. The imprint on the end of the cap is clear and still has the green paint. The imprint above the clip ring is clear, with no paint. "OBB" for the nib width is clearly engraved in a band above the piston end cap.
