I purchased this pen personally and have been the only owner of this magnificent pen. It has been stored in one of my many pen tubs since the day after I purchased it, in a smoke free home, in a temperature controlled environment.
Note:
The outer white cardboard shipping sleeve shows some signs of age and wear, has a couple of tears on its corners and is a little crumbled (see picture #2 & #3).  Additionally, the inside of the writing kit is showing some age to its Alcantara lining.  Despite Alcantara being called “Alcantara leather”, it is actually a synthetic fabric made from a blend of polyester and polyurethane, and as such will begin to degrade over time.   Fortunately, the interior writing kit has held up extremely well with only minor degradation and blemishes.
The writing kit is very heavy at 11 pounds and quite large, and therefore, I will charge a flat 0 to cover continental U.S. shipping and insurance.  The pen will not be shipped outside of the U.S.
