Condition Very Nice condition. Most of the pearl portions have warmed to an amber of caramel color. There are surface marks around the top of the cap. There is a crack in the cap, nearly 1" from the top. We've included a closeup of this area in the photos; be very careful and never drop it! The clip has quite a lot of plating wear, especially around the top edge. The barrel has scratches and marks at both ends. The lever has scratching and some touches of plating wear. The cap band has brassing along the edges. The ball end of the clip has a lot of brassing. The pencil's cone has scratching and almost no plating. The imprints are worn but readable.
