Condition:The pen is in overall very good condition with nice color on the cap and the typical darkening on the barrel, there are no cracks or personalizations. The ring top is firm and in good condition, as shown. The triple ring, gold filled cap bands (which makes this a "De Luxe" version) are firmly attached and in lovely condition. The barrel imprint has some light wear and is readable. The pen has been cleaned, a new ink sac installed, it has been water and ink tested. The pen fills nicely and writes well. This is a lovely early 1930's Duofold.
