Condition Excellent condition with no cracks. This is a large (over-sized), hefty pen with a velvety black shiny body and an especially beautiful palladium with gold trim cap. The cap doesn't snap on, but with a little pressure it is very secure. The section has marks caused by capping and the barrel has light to moderate scratching with a couple of miniscule tic marks just above the blind cap. One of the bottom corners of the blind cap looks melted and there are a few little deep scratches around that. The cap has light to moderate microscratching with some long, thin scratch lines. The cap band has light microscratching and some swirly polishing lines. The clip three tiny, deep marks mid clip. The white dot looks nice; it has a bit of plating wear surrounding the top edge. The nib imprint is clear.
