Condition Very nice condition. This is a nicely colored, small shiny pen. There is light scratching on the cap and barrel. The pearly portions of the material have ambered and lost some their pearly character. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip and moderate wear. The lever has tiny touches of brassing, and the plating is gone from the tab end. The cap has moderate wear all over. The cap band has brassing and touches of plating wear along the edges. The clip has plating wear along the sides and brassing around the ball end. The imprints are slightly worn, but still readable.
There is a "crack" in the cap lip, about 1/4 of the way to the right from the clip, where the material has separated between black and pearly portions. We've included a closeup of this area in the photos. It does not extend beyond the cap band, but it's definitely something you will want to take special care with and the cap should not be posted.
