Condition The pen is in superior condition with beautiful color in spite of very slight darkening on the barrel. No bite marks or scratches. There is a chip on end of the cap that takes a little bit out of the white dot. There is some brassing on the ball of the clip and on the cap band, as well as on the lever. The ball of the clip does not rest on the surface of the cap. No cracks on the lip of the cap (You may do damage if you post the cap on the barrel. The barrel is long and comfortable to write with, without the cap.) The imprint is crisp and and easy to read. It has been restored with a new sac and the filling system is working well. (We'll guarantee it for a year.)
