Condition Excellent overall condition for this classic pen and pencil set. The coloration on the mechanical pencil has become a darker grey color than the dove grey of the fountain pen. The set is shiny and in a classic style. The fountain pen has moderate scratching all around. The section has heavy scratching around the feed. The cap has moderate scratches, mostly short marks, but many of them, and a few are deep. There is a bit of plating wear on the clip and the clip ring. The blue diamond on the clip is perfect. The pearlescent cap jewel has a scratch at the tip and some mottling along one side. The mechanical pencil barrel has light scratching. The cone has quite a bit of microscratching. The cap has a few small dents, a blotch of brassing/plating wear and light scratching. The clip looks good. The clip ring has some plating wear along some of the edges and a few small, deep scratch marks along the top edge. The pearlescent jewel is crackled. The gold fill imprint is clear on both pieces. The barrel imprint and date code is readable on the fountain pen.
