Nib EXTRA FINE Gold #3 nib is in great condition, with good tipping material. Just a little spring to it.
Condition Very nice condition with no cracks or chips. There's a small group of scratches that go all the way from the top of the cap down to it's band (see photos), and some small scratches and tooth marks here and there, mostly around the ends. The trim is pretty much completely free of brassing, with just some minor handwear on it. The pen has been restored and tested and the filling system is working well. It's still a very beautiful pen, working very well.
