Condition Very nice condition for this slim, unique pen. There is some discoloration on the barrel where the blue has mellowed to a navy grey. The cap and barrel have moderate to heavy wear. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip. The lever has some plating wear along the edges and at the top. The cap has two hairline cracks on the cap lip, so this pen should not be posted. The cap band has plating wear along some of the edges and light scratching but the gold is mainly intact. The clip has plating wear on the ball end but it looks nice with just some light scratching. The imprints are clear.
