Condition Excellent + condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a beautifully patterned classic pen with gorgeous coloring. The barrel has light marks caused by the cap lip. Other than that, the cap and barrel are near-perfect. The lever, cap band, and clip all have plating wear and the cap band has brassing. The clip stands out a bit from the cap (see photo below) and there are short cracks coming off the lower pin that secures the clip (also visible in photo). The imprints near the end of the barrel are somewhat faded but they can be read with magnificantion. The "52" imprint on the end of the barrel is clear.
