The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip and scratching. It has a personalization, "C E H" on the barrel. The cap has moderate to heavy scratching with quite a few small bite marks. The cap band has small pinpoint dings and moderate microscratching. The clip has plating wear along the bottom edge and moderate microscratching. The white dot in intact with some light scratching. The imprints are clear.
