Nib FINE 14k gold nib.
Condition Excellent condition with handwear and micro-scratches on the section. There is a rough edge to the opening under the nib, visible in the photo below. It is obvious in the picture, but in hand it's hard to spot. The cap is smooth with no dents, but there is some tarnish near the top. These sterling caps usually look quite discolored, but this one is better than usual. The imprint is slightly worn in the middle of the first line, but the rest of it is fairly deep and clear. Minor hand wear on the rest of the barrel leaves this pen still looking quite nice.
