Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a beautifully colored, shiny pen that has a classic vintage appearance. The barrel has a personalization, "Freeman Shoes, Rex Stephenson." It has some wear on the cap and barrel, but is otherwise very shiny and smooth. The cap has the original price/model sticker. The cone has light microscratching. The double cap band looks good with just some microscratching and the bottom band has one spot where it is a little crooked. The clip, clip ring, and top jewel look excellent. The imprints are clear.
