Condition Very Nice condition with no cracks. The barrel is more ambered than the cap. Ambering is nearly impossible to avoid with this material. There are bite marks in the cap and dings in the cap band. The two deepest ones are photographed and there are fine scratches running lengthwise with those marks. The section has two marks as well. The imprint is clear. The trim has very little brassing. The pen is fully restored and working well, with no personalization.
