Condition Very nice condition with no cracks. The main flaw is wear on the chrome plated trim -- cap bands, clip, clip band, and band on the barrel end all have substantial plating wear and scratching. This is a small-sized pen in a pretty color pattern with good shine. The coloration has darkened, especially on the barrel where there is also some reddening in a couple of patches. The cap color is probably closer to the original grey with pearlized marbling. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip and moderate scratching with bite marks on the blind cap. The cap has moderate wear. The surface near the top of the cap has crackled. This crackled appearance is also on the top black jewel. The end barrel jewel looks very good. The imprints are clear.
