Condition Excellent + condition. This is a beautiful, well-preserved pen set, with rich coloring. The fountain pen has light scratching, and some tiny scuffs on the barrel near the section. The section has long scratches from the cap lip. The white dot on the clip has an unusual mark around the circumference, it's almost like it was pressed just inside the edge, so it has a slight lip around it; the white dot is otherwise in great shape. The gold-plated trim has microscratching only, no brassing or plating wear. The ballpoint pen has microscratching all over. There is some brassing on the two trim rings in the middle, but the rest of the trim looks great. The imprints on both pieces are clear.
