Condition Superior condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This pen has never been inked and so the feed is very dried up... you'll want to make sure that after filling the feed gets time to absorb the ink. This is a gorgeous, shiny, classic pen that includes original stickers. The cap and barrel have polishing marks and some light to moderate scratching picked up in storage. The clip and cap band are beautiful with just a few little microscratches. The imprints are clear.
