Condition Excellent condition. The blind cap isn't quite centered with the barrel and doesn't make perfect contact when closed all the way. The main wear is on the cap. There are some dents on top of the cap which look much worse in the photographs than in hand, but they are significant and like golf ball dimples. The barrel imprint is clear. The handwear is not significant, though present on the barrel. The pen is fully restored and working well.
