Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, dents, or dings. This is a classic little set in the original box, however the strings that hold the pens are missing. The fountain pen has some moderate scratching at the top of the cap, with some small deep marks on either side of the clip. The cap band has two micro-dots of plating wear and there is a miniscule chip just under the cap band on the top of the barrel. The barrel is excellent with just some light scratching. The mechanical pencil is excellent with just some microscratching. The imprints are clear.
