Condition
|
Excellent condition aside from a hairline crack in the section near the nib. (This spot does not leak, and it is not going to get any worse if you don't pull the nib and re-set it. We have priced the pen with this small defect in mind.) No cracks or chips. The color is very good, hardly any scratches on the hard rubber. Excellent gold filled trim with no brassing. The imprints are easily readable. This pen writes very smoothly with a nice bold line. The filling system is working well, and should be good for years to come. |
