Nib #7668 Firm Medium nib from the "Dip-Less" series of nibs. Please note: in theory, the dip-less nibs can't be used in regular lever fill Esterbrooks because the original feed and section worked with the ink-filled base design, and not from an ink reservoir. In the case of this nib, we are guessing the nib itself was transferred to a regular Estie feed and housing to allow it to perform in a normal lever filler. We tested it extensively over the period of a few days to make sure the ink flow was good, and we were happy with the results.
Condition Excellent condition. There are some lesser scratches on the cap and barrel of the pen, and the barrel's jewel has been damaged, chipped into a sort of square shape. Still the pen looks quite good, with no cracks, chips, or personalization, and with it's original price sticker still on the cap (see photos). Restored and working well.
