Condition Excellent condition. There is microscratching and handwear on the cap and barrel. The chasing pattern is very clear, and the color is excellent with minimal fading - it's very dark and even. The lever has brassing, and some tiny dots of pitting. The clip has brassing around the upper edge and some dots of pitting on the main part, and lots of pitting on the ball end. The imprints are slightly worn, but still easily readable and clear.
