Condition Excellent condition with no cracks for this dark burgundy pen that is shiny, long and slender. The barrel has long, thin and fine scratch lines. The cap has mainly light scratching with some moderate scratching at the top. The cap band has light to moderate microscratching and polishing marks. The clip has light to moderate microscratching. The white dot has a chip out of the edge. The imprint is clear.
The cap band has a pair of initials professionally engraved on it - the first one is definitely a P, and the second initial might be a B, or possibly an R? It's a fairly shallow engraving and the microscratching also obscures it.
