Nib Fine flexible gold Conklin Endura nib. See our writing sample in the photos.
Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, or dings. The fountain pen is pretty and shiny and the color is nice. The cap and barrel have light scratching. There are a few light marks on the end of the barrel. The lever bar has plating wear around the edges. The clip has plating wear around the top and bottom, as well as along the edges. The cap band has some tiny touches of brassing on the edges. The mechanical pencil has light scratching on the marbled areas. The end piece has some bite marks. The gold trim bands look nice. The nose cone has some shallow denting and scratching, but the plating looks good. The clip has little spots of plating wear on the edges near both ends. The imprints on both pieces are clear. The paper box has some tears at the corners, but considering the age it looks fantastic.
