Condition Superior condition for this over-sized, brightly colored, smooth and shiny fountain pen. The best color we've seen in a long time on a flat top Sheaffer. The cap and barrel have light handwear throughout. There is a spot of discoloration (burn mark most likely) toward the end of the barrel to the left of the bottom of the lever. Inside this spot is a small chip. Another small chip is located just above it. The section has three tiny chips around the top edge. The cap, cap band, and clip look great. No cracks, dents or plating wear. The imprints are legible.
