Nib 14k medium Conway Stewart nib. It's very small with good tipping material. It's soft and bouncy, but the tines won't spread enough to give you any line variation.
Condition Very nice condition. There is a crack in the cap lip - it runs from the edge up to the cap band (1/4" long) and underneath the band. We've included a detailed closeup of this area in the photos. The cap lip also has some tiny little bites out of the edge. The rest of the cap has light scratching. The cap band has microscratching. The clip and cli ring have brassing and some plating wear. The barrel has some light marks from capping, and microscratching all over. The imprints are clear.
The crack in the cap lip is really vulnerable, so you'll want to take extra care with it and refrain from posting. Dropping the cap will likely result in a piece chipping off, and we won't be able to give you a refund if it breaks. Be sure to carefully examine the pen and make sure the condition is acceptable to you before inking it.
