Condition Excellent condition. The patterns are well defined. There are light marks throughout, most prevalent around the cartouche. No personalization. The end of the barrel have very faint bite marks. The edge of the cap lip isn't quite smooth and isn't entirely covered by the gold filled filigree. We didn't notice any brassing except a thin line on the very top edge of the cap. The filigree is very shiny. We've restored the pen and it's working very well.
