Condition Very nice condition with no cracks or chips. This is a shiny, dainty pen, in a pretty color pattern. The cap and barrel have moderate scratches. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip and small scratch marks at the end (could be some bite marks). The cap has the same sort of marks at the top. The cap band has plating wear along the edges and elsewhere. The ring top looks nice with just one dot of pitting at the very top. The cream colored rings below the black end pieces have some colors bleeding into them in places. The imprints are nice and clear.
