Condition Excellent condition with no chips, dents, or dings. There is a super short 1/16" crack on the cap lip, so this pen should not be posted. This is a small, beautifully colored pen in a classic design. The barrel has a slightly yellow tinge as compared with the cap, but the colors are close and the jade is pretty. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip and mainly light scratching with a few more pronounced scratches toward the end of the barrel. The lever has microscratching. There is a dark area to the right of the clip (see photograph). Otherwise, the cap has primarily light scratching with some more moderate scratching to the left of the top of the clip. The clip has light microscratching and brassing on the surface of the ball and the top edge. The 5-30 imprint on the black cap top is crisp. The barrel imprints are clear.
