The barrel has light scratching, with some more moderate scratching toward the end of the pen. The cap has light to moderate microscratching, with some heavier scratches near the top and to the right of the clip. A small dent is on the top of the cap. The cap band looks quite good. The clip has microscratching and some brassing around the open end. The white dot is a bit off-color. The imprints are clear.
