This is a nice looking pen with symbolism built into the design. The cap and barrel have light wear only. The sterling silver overlay has polishing marks and some areas of tarnish, but no dents or dings. The imprints are clear. The box, which has a storage area underneath the platform and tabs that secure the pen in place, is in excellent condition. The paperwork in the box shows a different serial number from the pen, as we acquired them separately.
