Nib Medium 14k nib is smooth with nice tipping.
Condition Excellent condition. The cap looks very good with a nice shiny band at the bottom, though there are scattered shiny areas in the satin finish. There is a small dent near the top of the cap, to the right of the clip. The clip ring has a lot of scratching and plating wear. The cap jewel has some surface crazing, but otherwise looks good. The barrel has light scratching and handwear. There are cap marks from posting and capping. The pen looks very good. Fully restored and working well.
