Condition
|
Excellent condition. No cracks or chips aside from one very short crack on the cap lip (see photo). The black color is very good. The imprints are readable. The chasing is not exactly crisp, it's worn smooth. The trim is in very nice condition. There are some tool mark scratches on the section. This pen writes very smoothly with a pleasing amount of flex. The filling system is working well, we re-sac'd it and we'll guarantee it for two years. |
