Condition Excellent restored condition. A small amount of brassing on the pen, just a little on the top and bottom edges. It writes and fill very well. Very good imprints. No cracks or chips, however some of the gold plating on the section near the nib has peeled off. The pencil shows a little more wear, especially on the cone.
