Condition Excellent condition. No cracks or chips. Very little, if any, fading. No serious scratches. The material is smooth and shiny. The retaining ring at the top of the clip has some brassing, but the rest of the clip looks good. The cap bands and lever also look good, with minimal wear. The black cap jewel looks great. The imprint is slightly worn in the middle, but still very clear. It's really a nice little pen, with an understated elegance, working very well.
