Condition Excellent condition with no cracks. This is a long, slim snorkel-filling pen. The cap and barrel have light to moderate wear. The barrel has some tiny chips along the edge where the cap lip sits. The cap band and clip are lovely and golden with some microscratching, and the very top edge of the clip has a bit of plating wear. The white dot is overall in good shape, with a few tiny scratches. The imprints are slightly worn, but still easily readable.
