Condition |
Brand new. Never inked or dipped. The original box is heavy and drives up the cost of shipping so we don't include it by default, but we're happy to include it for four dollars extra. Select this option above. |
We also offer this pen with a custom ground fine italic nib, for an extra $20. You can select this option from the pulldown menu above. The grid on the writing sample below is 1/8 inch.
