Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a classic colored pen with an impressive 14k gold cap band. There is light to moderate scratching on the cap and barrel. The clip has one small dot of brassing on the top left side. There is also a 1/4" long scratch on the cap to the left of the clip. The nib masking looks quite nice. The cap threading has some light plating wear and corrosion. There are two small scratches just below where the cap lip sits - the larger one is about 1/4" long, and then a smaller 1/8" long scratch. The blind cap looks great, with no tooth marks or damage to the ridges. The imprints are clear.
