Condition Excellent + condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is an over-sized, velvety black and shiny pen in a classic design. The cap and barrel have moderate scratching. The cap has marks caused by the cap lip and heavier scratching toward the end. The lever has plating wear and scratching. The cap band has plating wear along the lower edge; otherwise, it is nice and shiny with just micro-scratching. The clip looks great. The white dot is perfect. The imprints are like new.
