Condition This is a beautiful pen except for one thing -- the clip ring has pitting along the bottom edge and alongside the top of the clip. No cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a shiny pen in an appealing color combination. The section has normal scratching from capping. The barrel has moderate wear with the long, thin scratch lines caused by placing the pen in a pen loop. The clutch ring had a tiny spot of grime which we cleaned off after photos were taken (see final photo below). The cap is smooth and shiny. It has a shiny mark that extends out from one end of the clip to the other. The cap otherwise has moderate microscratching. The clip has light microscratching. The imprint is clear.
