Condition |
This high-end fountain set is in excellent condition with only light signs of usage. The bodies of both pen and pencil have only light scratches, and som handwear. The sac has been replaced here at Peyton Street Pens. The cap on the fountain pen has one small impression to the right of the clip, up near the top, which we show in the close-up below. Otherwise, no dents or scratches, and no brassing. The original Parker 51 clam shell has some stains, and it is a little sprung and doesn't close perfectly squarely. |
