Condition Excellent condition with a repaired barrel. The patterns are well defined. The clip has plating wear at the top and bottom. . The hard rubber is still a nice dark black. There are small marks and scratches on the cap and barrel but no major scratches, chips, or dents. We've repaired and restored the pen and it's working very well. It has been personalized, "Geo. Zink" on the cap.
Description of repair: When we got the pen, the barrel threads were cracked and a large chunk was missing. We removed the broken hard rubber and trimmed back the hard rubber under the overlay, and then epoxied in a replacement piece from a hard rubber #2 Crescent pen. There are a few scratches on the added part, but otherwise the pen looks quite nice. We guarantee the repair as well as the filling system restoration for one year from date of purchase.
