Condition Excellent condition with no cracks. This is the first one of these we've seen that wasn't missing one of the "brilliants." This is a lovely white pen that is shiny and that has unique surface patterning and a bejeweled cap band. It is very difficult to see scratches on the cap and barrel because of the surface pattern. A few small scratches can be detected with magnification but, in general, the surfaces look good. The end of the barrel has three burn-type marks and one mini-mark of the same nature. The cap band has a bit of plating wear along the edges of the gold outside the raised bejeweled band. The silver bands that surrounding the band of raised jewels has some plating wear and scratching. The jewels are all intact. The section has the initials "S.V." engraved on it. There is discoloration on the cap lip edge of the barrel. There are no imprints.
