Does anyone else think that it is high time that vintage pens had a proper lexicon of condition descriptions?
In an advert I read recently a pen was described as "excellent condition", and in further details it was revealed that the cap band was half-brassed, the cap had a few nicks, the barrel had a depression due to posting of the cap, and the clip was partially brassed.
How is this "excellent condition"?
Perhaps there should be a guide to condition similar to version that is now standard in describing the condition of vintage books.
