Condition Excellent condition. This is a very attractive set in a unique color pattern that is shiny and that glows and shimmers. The fountain pen has moderate scratching on the cap and barrel. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip. The lever has plating wear, scratches on the end piece and a thin line of pitting at the top. The top of the cap portion of the pencil has a little chip around the edge. The very top of the cap has some hairline scratches that emanate from the center of the top. The clip and trim look nice. The mechanical pencil has light to moderate scratching with lots of small scratch marks (toolmarks?) on the cone. The clip has brassing near the ball end and plating wear on the ball. The imprints on the fountain pen are clear.
