Condition:
Very nice condition. The barrel and cap are in nice condition with minimal wear, very nice coloring and clean chasing. The cap has a lip crack, the crack does not hinder screwing the cap to the barrel. The inscription band on the barrel reads HAUN over AKRON, O. The inscription appears to be some sort of after-market inscription. The pen's interior barrel has been "dry cleaned" and the nib and feed cleaned and polished. This pen is ready for ink.
