Condition Excellent + condition, in box with paperwork. Under magnification, we see some microscratching on the cap and barrel, but the pen appears quite shiny and attractive in hand. The clip looks great; the enamel fill on the sides of the clip looks perfect. The two trim bands on the cap have light scratching. The section has some light scratching. The trim band between the section and barrel looks good. There are some tiny chips in the material at the front and rear ends of the barrel, as well as along the edge of the blind cap. Because these are present in multiple locations, we think that they happened in manufacturing, rather than user damage. No individual scratches are visible on the cap or barrel. Comes in original Visconti box with booklet and ID card underneath the platform. The outer shell of the box looks great, and the sticker matches the pen's description.
