Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, or dings. This is a small, compact pen in a nicely regulated jade green with just a tad of discoloration at the end of the barrel. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip and light to moderate scratching. The cap has overall light scratching. The lever looks good with some small amount of pitting on the upper edge. The two cap bands have microscratching but no plating wear. The ring-top base has a dent on the very top and there is a bit of pitting along the mounted edge. The ring itself looks perfect. The barrel imprints are clear.
