Nib MEDIUM FLEXIBLE Mabie Todd & Co NY #2 14k nib. It is gold and flexes easily, with line variation from medium to double broad. Please see writing sample below.
Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, or personalization. There are marks at either end of the barrel from the cap lip. The edges where the section joins to the barrel have some dings in them, probably tool marks. There is light scratching all over the cap and barrel. The lever has some scratches on the sides, possibly caused by the engraving process. The ring top looks great. The discs at the ends of the cap and barrel have some light pitting and scratches. The imprint at the end of the barrel is slightly smoothed down (likely from posting the cap, and compounded by the softness of silver), but is readable.
