It has never been inked or written with. Original factory stickers remain in place on the silver barrel and tip. The sterling silver barrel carries surface tarnish consistent with extended storage - a natural and entirely reversible characteristic of silver that does not affect the pen's integrity or writing performance in any way. The pen is sold in an ''as is'' condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe barrel is 925 sterling silver decorated with a special engraving pattern referencing the front grille of James Dean's beloved Porsche 550 Spyder - the car he called \"Little Bastard\" and in which he died in 1955. The cap is covered in dark brown precious wood, referencing the scene in \"Rebel Without a Cause\" in which Dean wielded a switchblade - the writing instrument body itself takes the shape of that switchblade. The clip is ruthenium-plated and formed in the shape of a shotgun, a direct reference to the famous firefight scene in \"Giant\", Dean's final completed film. The fittings are ruthenium-plated throughout. The cap closes via screw mechanism. \u003cspan class=\"inline-flex\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe nib is an 18k 750 solid gold nib with platinum plating in Medium size.
