Condition |
The pen is in extra nice condition with way less than typical discoloration, just a slightly lighter area near the end of the barrel. Only light scratches. The trim shows minor brassing: a dot on the ball of the clip and the top edge, and the lower edge of 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 silicone sac and the filling system is working well. (We'll guarantee it for a year.) |
