Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a small velvety black, shiny pen in a classic design. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip as well as moderate scratching with some long scratch marks mainly toward the end of the barrel. The pin holes that hold the lever in place have quite a bit of scratching around them. The lever has light plating wear along the sides and microscratching. The cap has moderate to some heavy scratching near the top of the cap. The cap band has a bit of plating wear on the lower edge but otherwise just some light microscratching. The clip has plating wear on the ball end as well as along the top edge. It has moderate microscratching. The top white dot looks good. The barrel has a messy personalization that might be "A.E. Farr". The imprints are clear.
