Condition Very nice condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a petite, dainty pen with nice shine and shimmer. It's obviously seen a lot of usage and it's worn in the places you'd expect -- the top and bottom edges. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip as well as by posting, light scratching, and plating wear along the edge of the end. The section has pitting along the edge and there are dots of pitting on the threads. The lever looks great with just a tiny dot of pitting at the top. The cap has light scratching and plating wear along the upper edge. The ring top is excellent. There is a small, deep scratch on the flat top of the cap. The pen is personalized on the barrel, "Hazel Miles." The imprints are clear.
