Condition |
Excellent condition with just minor signs of use. The main flaw is the plating wear on the gold collar that surrounds the nib, the plating is flaking off a little (see photos). Otherwise the only damage on the pen is a just a touch of plating wear on the upper corners of the clip, and a tiny indent in the left side of the very top corner of the cap (on the gold band). This is a very elegant pen, in beautiful condition, with all its original packaging, cartridges, and converter. Fully guaranteed. If you don't like it, send it back for a refund of the purchase price. |
