This is a shiny pen in a classic design, in a good color, and with nice hand-size. The barrel has a few marks caused by posting and otherwise light scratchiing. The cap has mainly light signs of usage with an area of scratch marks toward the top of the cap. The clip and cap band are excellent. There is some wear or corrosion of the metal barrel threads.
