Condition Excellent condition for this petite, nicely decorated pen that is shiny and elegant. The black hard rubber section looks excellent, both color-wise and in condition. The barrel above the end piece has light to moderate microscratching. The end piece of the barrel has some small, deep scratches, and dings, and a few small areas of plating wear. The cap has light to moderate microscratching. The top of the cap, where the ring top is mounted has little scratches all along the edge and on the top platform that holds the ringtop. The ring has some minor pitting and microscratching but it is shiny and looks good. The crescent has some plating wear along the top edge but it is nice and the imprints are clear.
