The pen is presented in very good overall condition, especially notable for its attractive fully gold-plated finish with a striped pattern, which preserves an intense and uniform shine, enhancing its elegant and classic character.
The body shows light signs of use consistent with the passage of time, visible only upon close inspection, in the form of micro superficial marks. No significant shocks or deformations are observed, maintaining excellent structural integrity.
