Nib MUSIC 14k nib with the Bock logo on it. Soft and smooth with a bit of flex. See our writing sample below.
Condition Excellent condition, with the majority of the value in the vintage music nib. There are two small cracks in the cap just under and below the clip. They are not in a "high traffic" location, so we think that they will remain stable. The rest of the cap has light scratching and handwear. The clip has scratching and spots of brassing, and there are dots of pitting on the clip ring. The cap band has brassing on the lower edge. The barrel has light scratching and handwear. The ink viewing window is clear, with some very light internal staining. The music nib is soft and springy. The feed is odd: the entire surface looks like it's been scratched up, or possibly damaged by heat-setting, but the ink flow is great and the nib performs well.
