Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a large-sized, shiny pen, in a beautiful jade green color. The color is inconsistent -- the cap is most likely the true color. The barrel has darkened to a brown/green jade with a small ring of original color at the end of the barrel. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip. Otherwise, the cap and barrel have light scratching. The lever has plating wear near the top and moderate microscratching. The cap band has quite a bit of plating wear. The clip has some light plating wear (splotchy). The dot at the top of the cap is excellent. The flat top of the cap has some fine surface crackling. The imprints are clear.
