Condition Very nice condition for this short, vintage pen that is in an excellent color pattern. The coloration between the cap and barrel is distinct. The barrel color has ambered to a dark caramel. The cap color is much lighter (pearlier) with a green tinge. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip, light scratching all over, and small bite marks on the black end piece. The cap has a crack in the lip and light scratching. The cap bands have microscratching and thin pitting along some of the edges of each of them. The clip has plating wear on the ball end and scratching, especially along the sides. The clip ring has plating wear. The top black piece on the cap has faded to a chocolate brown (from black). The imprints are clear.
