Condition |
The pen is in extra nice condition with less than typical discoloration, except for an unfortunate ink stain under the clip. Only light scratches. The trim shows some brassing: some on the ball of the clip and the top edge, and a few small spots on the cap band. There are no cracks in the cap lip. (You'll do damage if you post the cap on the barrel, so if that is a requirement for you, buying this pen will result in heartbreak. The barrel is long and comfortable to write with, without the cap.) It has been restored with a new sac and the filling system is working well. (We'll guarantee it for a year.) |
