Condition:
Very nice condition with no cracks or personalization. The pen is shiny gray with a distinctive "sharkskin" pattern. This is an earlier version of the pen with the flat shovel lever. There are some surface scratches on the barrel and cap. The clip is firm and the double jewels look good with no chips. The barrel imprint has some wear, but is clearly readable. The pen has been cleaned, a new ink sac installed and it's ready for ink.
