Nib BROAD two tone 14k Triumph nib with a serial number. It's smooth with great tipping, and it's on the small side of broad. (It won't be like a modern broad, it's the equivalent of a modern medium.)
Condition Very nice condition. There's some scratching on the cap and barrel as well as a small mark near the blind cap. There's a tiny bit of brassing on the upper cap band in one spot. No cracks or chips, dings or dents. It's fully restored and working well.
The barrel is engraved "J. S. Whitling" (see photos).
