Condition Exxcellent condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. The main flaw is some brassing on the "high points" of the cap, i.e. the square top and the four ridges that meet the square top (see photos below, which represent these issues were accurately). This is an impressive, shiny pen, in a classy color scheme. The barrel has light scratching. The section has light to moderate scratching. The gold plated end cap on the barrel has plating wear and some scratches along the edges. There's some wear on the sides of the clip, but only a thin line of brassing. The white dot is nice. The imprints on the cap lip are clear.
