Condition New old stock, never owned or used. The pair looks fantastic, with their original chalk marks stating prices, and the model name and nib size on the pen, are still clear and intact. Though they have never been used, the cap of the pen shows some slight scratching and a slight bulge from the inner cap. We tested the pen thoroughly and changed out the point gasket and O-ring (the sac was excellent and did not need replacing.)
