Condition Excellent condition. Light to moderate scratching, though in the hand the pen looks smooth and shiny. Plating wear on sides of clip. Light brassing on cap band, as well as lever. Gold Seal is intact and in excellent shape. Small (<1/8" long) crack in cap lip, in line with clip, which stops before it gets to cap band. The light green color at the end of the barrel and the top of the cap are early indicators of crystalizing, but the material is very solid and free of cracks.
