Condition Excellent + condition, in box. This is a beautifully colored, elegant set, that is in a classic design pattern. The fountain pen barrel has light wear only with three or four small round marks scattered around the barrel. The cap and clip have microscratching and the clip has a few small nicks on the side, but overall the cap is near mint with no plating wear or brassing. The lever is excellent. The mechanical pencil has light wear and a few small marks near the cap lip, and some light scratches just above the cone. The cone has some tiny little marks on it. The cap has microscratching as does the clip. The area around the top of the clip has some dots of plating wear. The clicker top looks excellent. The imprints on both pieces are clear.
