Nib FINE 14k nib. It writes very smoothly and is a little wet for a fine. Not quite a fine-medium, but close. The tines spread a little bit for a little expressive writing but no significant line variation.
Condition Excellent condition. No cracks or chips. The pen has its gray tones because the green has lightened. The original color has a little gray to it but is definitely darker. There are a few dings on the cap and bite marks at the top. The area beneath the slightly brassed clip is a bit worn and has plating wear. The section has two marks. No personalization.
