Mechanical pencil is in excellent condition, but the ballpoint pen has a mechanism defect that won't retract the refill, as well as minor surface scratches that I will point out in the photos. However, Cross will repair the mechanism completely free of charge under their Lifetime Mechanical Guarantee, which covers the instrument regardless of its age or lack of a receipt (I just don't have the time to deal with it). Please inspect all photos carefully before purchasing, as the price has been significantly reduced due to these issues.
