Nib FINE 14k nib is fairly firm and smooth, with nice tipping. There are some tool marks on the nib, but they do not affect its writing.
Condition Very ncie condition. There's a 3/4" scratch on the side of the cap, and some other scratches and small marks on the barrel and cap as well. The clip is slightly bent, and sits a little ways away from the cap. There is general plating wear, but brassing only on the sides of the clip.. No cracks or chips, and no personalization. The imprints are crisp and readable, and this pen still has a shine to it. Nice barrel clarity. It's restored and working well.
