Condition Very nice condition. This is a lovely, shiny, classic pen set. Fountain pen: The cap and barrel have moderate scratching and handwear. There are a few distinct scratches on the barrel - one is about 3/4" long that runs along the top of the imprint (it's partly camouflaged by the lines in the letters). There are also two that are about 3/4" long, running from the end of the divot at the end of the lever. The cap has moderate scratching all over, and dents in the top. The clip has scratches and some plating wear. Mechanical pencil: Moderate to heavy scratching, and several dents on the cap portion. The clip has plating wear along the sides and around the open end. There are also some tooth marks on the plastic barrel portion. The cone is brassed, with some plating wear around the tip. Despite the cosmetic issues, it's still a handsome, operational set. The imprints are clear.
