Filling System This takes international cartridges or a threaded converter, or it can be filled via eyedropper. A threaded converter is installed and it is working well.

Nib FINE gold-plated steel nib, marked "steel flex." It has cutouts on the nib's shoulders which is meant to provide flex, but don't expect much when compared to true flexible nibs.
Condition Near mint condition. Light signs of usage on the cap and barrel. The clip and trim rings look really good, with just slight polishing marks. No cracks, chips, dents, or dings. The imprints are clear.
