Condition Excellent condition with no cracks. This is a small, dainty pen (thus the name "Lady Dainty") with nice chasing and shine. The color on the cap and barrel has faded to a consistent chocolate brown. The true black color can been seen on the section and the part of the barrel covered by the cap. The cap and barrel have moderate scratching. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip as well as some heavier scratching at the end of the barrel. The lever has scratching and dots of pitting. The ring top looks quite nice even though it has a bit of plating wear. The imprint is slightly faded (especially the "LA" of Lady), but readable.
