Condition Very nice condition with no dents or dings. The main flaw is the worn trim. This is a small, shiny pen with a lovely color pattern that is consistent from the cap to the barrel. The ambered barrel has good transparency (see photos). The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip as well as heavy marks caused by posting. It has moderate scratching and bumps on the surface. The cap has light to moderate scratching. The cap lip has several small hairline cracks that are less than 1/8" long and one tiny chip. The top black jewel has a small scratch along one side. The jewel at the end of the barrel is perfect. The cap fits a little tightly on the barrel. The imprints are clear.
