Condition Excellent condition. There is light scratching on the cap and barrel. The clip has some brassing and plating wear, especially around the open end where a small area on the left side has had the gold plating bubble up. The cap band has brassing and plating wear, and some corroded spots. (The celluloid is famous for reacting with the gold plating and causing issues, which we think caused the corrosion on the cap band and the flaking spot of plating on the clip.) The pen has great barrel transparency. The imprints are clear.
