Condition Superior condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. Excellent, uniform color. This is a small-sized pen in a beautiful and shiny color pattern. The barrel has light marks caused by the cap lip, moderate scratching, and a gold line running around the circumference mid-barrel caused by the lever retaining ring inside the barrel interacting with the celluloid. The lever has a small amount of pitting at the very top. The cap band has some thin lines of pitting along the edges and a tad of plating wear. The clip looks excellent. The imprints are nice and crisp.
