Nib MEDIUM #2 14k semi-flexible EHCO nib is somewhat worn, but there is still tipping on each tine. It flexes easily and gives line variation from fine to medium. See writing sample in photos.
Condition Excellent condition. There is light to moderate scratching on the cap and barrel. The ringtop hardware is well-secured. The cap edge looks good, with no cracks or chips. The edge of the section nearest the nib is smooth. The lever bar has brassing and some plating wear, mostly on the sides. The end of the barrel has heavy scratching, where it looks llike someone tried to carve initials around the end of the barrel and also at the end. The imprint is nice and clear.
