Nib This is a two-tone Fine nib with a "Waverley" up-turn. We noted a little flex, something we don't see often in a Triumph nib. There's not much line variation, so we didn't bother with a writing sample. It has a good amount of tipping material.
Condition Excellent condition. There is handwear and a few small scratches on the cap above the cap band and on the barrel above the threatds, Otherwise the pen is shiney. No cracks and an excellent imprint. We restored it and can confirm it is ready to write!
