Condition report:

The collection is offered in as found condition. The loose items stored in the plastic bag exhibit varying degrees of surface scratching, pocket wear, and potential brassing to gold-plated components consistent with bulk storage. Nibs have not been individually tested for alignment, flex, or ink flow. Functionality of internal mechanisms, including piston fillers and click actions, is unverified. Some items remain in original protective packaging or presentation cases, which may show light shelf wear.
