Condition report:
The Parker Black Prince ballpoint and the cased gold-toned pencil appear in good cosmetic condition (photo 1 and 2). The teal blue fountain pen shows visible surface scuffing and pocket wear to the brushed metal cap (photo 4). Significant ink staining is visible on the fingers handling the items in the photographs, which may indicate recent leakage from one or more instruments (photo 4). All internal filling mechanisms and lead advancement systems are untested.
