Nib Waverly 14k nib marked WA. Waverly refers to the upward slope of the tines of the nib. Primarily known for smooth writing, it also allows for a bit of line variation when the pen is used at different angles. This looks like a fine or perhaps a Japanese medium nib. It is in excellent shape with a smidge of springiness to it.
Condition Excellent + condition. There's some handwear visible on the clip and near the barrel trim but no brassing and the pen looks good. No cracks, chips, scratches, or personalization.
