Condition Very nice condition for this richly colored, pearlescent, shiny vintage pen. The main weakness is the plating wear. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip and mostly moderate scratching with some heavy scratching near the end of the barrel. The lever has small dots of pitting on a moderate scratched surface. There are some short hairline cracks on the bottom of the barrel. The cap has moderate wear. The ridged cap band has plating wear and some light pitting between the ridges (dots). The clip sits slightly awry and has pitting along some of the ridges and edges. The imprint is readable.
