The Reminiscence writing instruments are acknowledged worldwide for painstaking attention to detail.

CONDITION: Mint overall - extremely gently used, if ever, no flaws and no visible use marks ! All seems practically as new with few micoscopic marks only, almost unnoticeable. However, the grip section shows some very light wear to the gold plating on some spots, especially around the brand engraving, probably due to time and storage effects; and there are a few very mild and normal surface oxidations that I didn't want to clean any deeper due to the delicacy of the vermeil plating (this a more than thirty year old pen - see detailed pictures please). No obvious scratches, dents, dings, nicks or scuffs. No cracks or deformations. No obvious oxidations. No repairs. Clip perfectly aligned and adjusted to cap. No wear brassing to gold platings. The nib is perfect, as new too - no scratches or marks, aligned and with complete iridium, writing perfectly and smoothly. Cap screws smoothly and completely both posted and closed. Converter is as new, working smoothly. Very crisp engravings. No personal engravings. In perfect working order. The case shows considerable wear to the green leatherette outside, especially on corners and edges, from time and storage. Otherwise ok and closing firmly.
