The pen is slightly used, and the cartridge is now empty. It has no significant defects or blemishes to report, and a lot of life remains. A brand-new ink cartridge has been installed so it's ready to go. It's a sleek way to upgrade your everyday carry, a great gift for graduation or Father's Day, or add some personal magic to your journaling. Thank you for looking at my listing. I offer a variety of clothes, accessories, and lifestyle upgrades. Get a deal on two or more items. I will pay for the return shipping if you aren't happy with the item. If you have any more questions, please let me know. -Brett
