Condition Excellent condition, in box. This is a lovely set with good shine and elegant appearance in a pretty oval hard box. The fountain pen has light to moderate scratching on the barrel with a cluster of deep fissures at the end. The lever has scratches and plating wear along the edges. The cap has light scratching with one noticeable scratch along the left side of the clip. The clip has plating wear along the bottom edge. The mechanical pencil has small surface scratches throughout the barrel but nothing that stands out. The cap has one small ding to the right of the top of the clip and microscratching. The clip has light scratching and plating wear along the edge of the end. The cone looks nice. The imprints on the pencil are a bit more clear than those on the pen but both are easily readable.
