Condition Very nice condition, no chips, dings, dents or personalization. The main flaw is the barrel discoloration, but the pen is structurally very sound. There are some surface cracks in the cap which can be seen in the first photo, but we don't believe that they worsen as this area is backed by the inner cap liner which gives the area some additional support. We've priced the pen accordingly. There's some brassing on the cap band and on the ball of the clip. There's light scratching on the celluloid. The imprint is crisp and readable. The pen has been fully restored and it's working very well.
