Nib FINE Sheaffer's #3 Self-Filling gold nib is in excellent condition. There is good flexibility to it, and we've included a writing sample in the photos. Line variation from fine to broad.
Condition Excellent condition. There is microscratching and handwear on the cap and barrel. The color is excellent with just some very light fading - it's very dark and even. The lever has brassing, and some tiny dots of pitting. The clip has light scratching, as well as some plating wear on the ball end. The imprints are slightly worn, but still easily readable and clear.
