Condition Mint in Box condition. No evidence that the pen was ever inked. The pen has no cracks, chips, dents, dings, or even scratches. Lovely pearly white color. The imprints are crystal clear. The Decimo is a slightly slimmer version of Pilot's Vanishing Point retractable fountain pen - the diameter at the grip of the VP is 11.8mm, whereas the Decimo's grip diameter is 10.6mm. Additionally, the Decimo is lighter - 20.6g vs. 30g for the VP. If you love the retractability and ease of deployment of the Vanishing Point, but it's just a touch too big or heavy, the Decimo may be a better fit for you.
