Condition Very nice condition for this faceted, shiny pen that is in a wonderful color combination. The main flaw is that the cap has heavy bite marks on the top along with a jagged hairline crack that goes through the imprint. The cap and barrel have moderate scratching. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip as well as heavy bite marks at the end. The cap band has plating wear especially along the facet lines. The clip sits a bit awry and has moderate microscratching as well as a few small deep scratches at the end of the clip. The imprint is readable.
