Nib EXTRA EXTRA BROAD #71 French 14k nib. It's very smooth with just a little hint of flex and plenty of nice tipping material.
Condition Very nice condition. There are some blemishes in the lacquer finish on both pens (see photos), but more on the ballpoint than the fountain pen. On the fountain pen, the issue seems to be a crackling of the clear coating that covers the lacquer. On the ballpoint, it's actual wear. There are also a few tiny marks of brassing on the ballpoint's cap band. Otherwise the pens are in near mint condition with no cracks, chips, dings, dents, or other scratches. Both pens are working marvelously.
