This listing is for a 2013 year of the snake cross pen, special edition collection. 23k gold plated inlays and appointments according to cross' website. It includes the pen which is a twist mechanism with Chinese snake decoration around the pen, pen stand, paperwork, and original presentation case.
The case shows signs of wear near edges with one area being significant and a mark on the inside Perspex (see photos). This pen is in excellent condition, no noticeable marks, working and has had a new refill put in it. The case appears to be a leather like material. Dogs and cats in our house but smoke free home.
