Condition Near mint condition thought the wooden box is a little worn on the edges and the wooden tray no longer stays on the shelf inside the box. No dents or scratches. We did not attempt to polish the pen as we did not want to change the patina. The scratches on the brass plate disappear with some polish. Otherwise the pen looks like new with just a few small marks. No cracks, nibs, or personalization. It's working very well with the included converter. Included is the wood and brass "treasure chest" which looks well used with scratches and marks that create an antique feeling. The velvet lining of the chest has been compressed a bit too much and it is tricky to lay the shelf on the ridges halfway through the box. The chest has a cloth sack into which it fits but is missing its key. Authenticity certificate included.
