Filling System This takes cartridges or a converter. A Parker 75 squeeze converter is included.
Color "Flighter" brushed stainless steel with gold plated trim and an indented band ring on the cap which is colored gold inside.
Nib MEDIUM CURSIVE ITALIC. The nib is marked 14k and It is marked "M" on the feed. We started with a medium nib and modified it to be a cursive italic. See writing sample. Very smooth with nice line variation.
Condition Very nice condition. There's some lighter scratching on the metal finish of the cap, and minor brassing on the trim. No real scratching on the section, and only minor wear on the metal piece between the section and the nib. No cracks, chips, dents or dings. It's working very well, and still looks quite nice. The cap snaps on with a nice loud click, but it is possible to turn the cap after putting it on, which is a fairly common occurrence in these flighters.
