Please note that this pen is extremely hard to find without any cracks. Here's what we found on very close inspection: one tiny short crack under the surface of the resin near the upper right side of the clip. Please do not pull on the clip, or it will surely turn into a crack. Similarly, the cap lip is going to crack very easily if the cap is posted, though there are no cracks now.
