Nib FINE two tone 14k Triumph nib is firm and smooth with excellent tipping material. It's got a bit of a "Waverly" upturn. There's some wear to the masking on the surface of the nib.
Condition Excellent condition. No cracks or chips, dings or dents, personalization, or plating wear. There's some hand wear on the cap and barrel, including a mark toward the end of the barrel from the cap being posted. There's a scuff near the top of the clip that looks as though the metal had been tested for gold content. We've fully restored the pen and it's working very well.
