There is some minor loss to the gilding at the top of the cap and to the main body (wear). There is some peeling/bobbling to the lacquer on the barrel between the nib and the cap helix. There are two bands of surface abrasions right around the pen, resulting is a matt finish to the surface, one below cap helix and one at the opposite end. Overall condition is otherwise good.
