Condition Excellent + condition. The Grance is one of those hidden treasures in Pilot's lineup; they don't seem to get marketed as much as other models, but it's a great little pen! The lined silver barrel looks fantastic, with no scratches, dings, or dents, and the plating is perfect. There are some thin lengthwise scratches on the section caused by capping. The marbled blue lacquer on the cap is gorgeous. There is a tiny bit of microscratching around the top edge of the cap; the clip looks perfect.
