Nib FINE gold nib is smooth with good tipping remaining.
Condition Excellent condition. The section and barrel have signs of wear and light to moderate scratching. The clutch ring has some scratches or tool marks. The cap is excellent, just a few small scratches but no dents. There is a mark on the cap with two small parallel lines like an equals sign, about 1/16" long, perhaps someone was testing the gold content? The sides of the clip have plating wear, and there's a spot of brassing on the very tip of the arrow. The pearlized jewel has crazing on the surface, but is fully intact. There are no cracks, chips, or dents. The imprints are clear.
