Condition Near mint condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. We believe this pen has never been inked. This is a velvety black, shiny pen in a twist design that is unique and beautiful. The cap and barrel have a few light scratches. The various gold bands have some microscratching and light plating wear. The clip has a few long, thin scratch lines, perhaps from polishing. The gold piece on top of the cap looks great. The white dot has one tiny micro-scratch near the top. The imprints are clear.
