Please note that this pen is extremely hard to find without any cracks. We strongly suggest that you treat this pen even more gently than you treat the rest of your fine pen collection. Be especially careful with the clip and the cap. Do not pull on the clip, or the stress will cause a crack. Similarly, the cap lip will crack very easily if the cap is posted, even though there are no cracks now.
*This pen has been restored by epoxy (on the cap next to the clip)
