Condition Excellent + condition. This is a lovely, dark, shiny pen, in a unique design. The cap and barrel have light to moderate wear. The marks are primarly near the end of the barrel. The wide cap band looks beautiful; it has a slight indentation to the right of the end of the clip. The lever has some light scratching and a line of plating wear around the edge. The clip has a tad of plating wear around the edges and a bit of pitting on the right side. The imprints are nice and clear.
