Condition
|
Excellent condition, really very nice. No cracks or chips. Some brassing though the gold plated trim is largely nice and shiny. The imprints are very good. There are some gouges and toolmarks on the section. This pen writes very smoothly with a good amount of flex. The filling system is working well, with a new bladder, and we'll guarantee it for a year. |
