Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. Fountain Pen: The section has light scratching from the cap. The clutch ring has some brassing, and is doing a good job at keeping the cap secure on the pen. The lever and housing have some light scratching. The barrel has microscratching. The cap has a splotch of pitting, and we've included a detailed shot of this area in the photos. There is plating wear along the sides of the clip, as well as some on the top where it attaches to the cap. The rivet also has a splotch of pitting. Mechanical pencil: There is light scratching and handwear all over. The clip looks good, with minimal brassing or plating wear. There are a couple of spots of brassing on the cone. The imprints on both pieces are nice and clear.
