Nib FLEXIBLE FINE gold Sheaffer's #2 Self-Filling. Excellent flex, it flexes easily from extra fine to medium, very soft but not a wet noodle. See writing sample below.
Condition Excellent condition with no chips, dents, or dings. This is a small classically designed pen. The color is excellent, still a consistent dark black. The chasing is distinct. The barrel looks excellent with just a little wear on the flat end. The cap has a small crack at the cap lip and some surface wear along the top of the cap above and around the clip. The plating on the clip is almost completely worn off -- there is a little left on the ball end. The imprints are clear.
