Condition Excellent condition. This is a beautifully shiny dark black pen. The cap and barrel have light to some moderate scratching. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip, and an area of "pitting" where a finger might rest while gripping the pen. The lever bar has brassing along the sides. The cap also has some touches of pitting. The very top of the cap has what looks like some tiny cracks; there is a cap liner so we can't tell whether they are scratches or cracks. The cap band has scratching. The clip has some plating wear on the face (especially in the letters of the imprint) and around the ball end. The imprints are nice and clear.
