Nib EXTRA FINE Semi-flex 14k Two-tone Feather Touch #5 nib. It flexes from extra fine to medium, but requires a little pressure.
Condition Excellent condition with just a few small scratches on the cap and barrel. There's just a little brassing on the lower part of the cap band and the corners on the end of the lever, and just a tiny bit of wear on the lower edges of the clip. No cracks or chips. It's really a very handsome pen, working perfectly after our restoration process.
It's engraved "Henry Graf" on the barrel, just to the left of the lever (see photos).
