Condition Very nice condition. There is a crack in the cap lip that looks like a repair was attempted, so we do not recommend posting this pen or the crack will certainly get worse. This is a slim pen in a beautiful color pattern, with excellent shine and overall appearance. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip, some random, small scratching (for instance, a "K" looking scratch, as well as some long, thin lines. The lever has some long scratch lines down the face. The cap has moderate scratching around the top of the clip. The cap band has microscratching but looks nice. The clip has moderate scratching at the top, lessening down the face of the clip. The imprints are clear.
