Nib  FINE OBLIQUE STUB #9314-F steel nib has a nice sweet spot but can be very scratchy when held at an improper angle. It's a little bit springy and a left foot. The 9000 series of nibs have iridium tipping. The 9314-F nib is cataloged as a Relief Fine Oblique or a Relief Fine Stub.

Condition  Excellent + condition. The barrel imprint is slightly worn, but still easily readable. There are some small bite marks on the barrel. The trim looks great, with no brassing or plating wear. Both jewels look good. No cracks, dings, dents, or personalization. We've restored the pen and it's working very well.
