The cap and barrel have moderate scratching, but nothing very deep. The cap has some scratch marks up toward the top peak. The cap band has light scratching with no plating wear or dents. The clip has plating wear on the sides and a little pitting around the edge of the flat ball, but the dark marks you see at the top of the clip polished off after the photos were taken. The white dot looks nice. The imprints are clear.
