Condition  Very nice condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings.  This is a beautifully shiny, ornate pen that hearkens back to a past time of fountain pen design.  The black areas are dark and shiny.  A scratch can be found here or there in the peak through areas.  The cap is excellent, but the barrel has marks caused by the cap lip and lots of tiny pin prick size pits pretty much all over.  There are a few scattered similar marks near the top of the cap.  The cap filigree has some microscratching but is really excellent overall.  The clip looks excellent.  The white dot is perfect.  The imprints are clear.
