Condition Very nice condition for this over-sized, smooth and shiny fountain pen. There is a small crack in the barrel threads that extends about 2.5mm, and we have priced the pen accordingly. It has been repaired and we believe it to be stable, though we did not do the work. The color is slightly ambered to a warm shade of green, but overall the color is quite even and lovely. The cap and barrel have light handwear throughout. There is some brassing on the cap band, but the plating on the clip looks fantastic. The imprints are worn but legible.
