Condition Excellent condition with no cracks. This is a dark, shiny pen, with great barrel transparency and in a very attractive color. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip. It has mainly light scratching but there are a few short, deep marks on the barrel -- one beside the imprint and one just above the blind cap on the barrel. The section looks nice. The cap has light scratching with some long thin scratches along the right side of the clip and a wide line of scratching, including some small dot marks, to the left of the clip. The cap bands and clip look nice. The top jewel is perfect. The imprints are clear.
