Condition Excellent + condition for this weighty, solid gold fountain pen. The cap and barrel have light scratches and polishing marks. The barrel is personalized with the name "PHILLIP WELLS". The top of the barrel where the cap fits over it has horizontal capping lines. The section coloration is bright and shiny black; it has horizontal capping lines and a small bit of scratching. The top of the lever looks great; the edges do have a bit of brassing. The clip looks great. The cap shows a few marks where it was scratched by the end of the clip. The imprints are clear.
