Nib Medium gold nib is in excellent condition with good tipping. Italic cut, done here at PSP. It's nice and rounded for smooth writing. The nib is narrow for a modern medium, but it is broader than a vintage fine.
Condition Excellent condition, in box, with some minor wear. On both pieces, the cap looks fantastic, no dents or dings. There are some posting scratches on the back end of the pen's barrel. Both jewels are perfect. Pencil's nose cone looks great, no scratching. The cocoa color looks perfect on both pieces, and they're both working very well.
