Nib 1.7mm Stub Gold Nib by Greg Minuskin. Very wet, and it's rather particular about the writing angle and does best when square to the line of the page, i.e. not rotated. If you have a really upright writing angle, these can be difficult to write with as the tip is a bit obscured. Please see writing sample.
Condition Excellent + condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a beautifully colored, shiny pen that is in excellent condition. The section and barrel have some tiny surface dots that give the ebonite surface a slightly textured look. The cap is satin-y and very shiny and has just some light microscratching. The cap band is excellent with light microscratching and lots of glossy shine. The clip has plating wear along the arrow edge and a few tiny dots of grime among the feathers. The clip ring has microscratching and some light plating wear along the top edge. The jewels on top of the cap and at the end of the barrel look lovely. There are no imprints.
