Condition:Very nice condition, with some light scratches on the barrel and cap, no cracks or personalization. As is typical of these pens, the light gold plating has wear, most notably on the cap band. The "vision-guage" section of these pens were originally painted black over clear yellow and the paint has some wear, as shown. The barrel imprint has some wear, but is mostly readable. The pen has been cleaned, a new ink sac installed, it has been water and ink tested, this pen is ready to use.
Restoration Work:
- The cap has been brush cleaned
- Nib and feed ultrasonically cleaned
- New ink sac installed with 100% pure medical grade talcum powder
- The pen has been lightly polished
- The pen has been water and ink tested
- This pen is ready to use
