Nib FINE two-tone conical 14k Triumph nib is firm and quite smooth with nice tipping material. Most of the silver colored masking has been polished away, with just a stripe remaining around the nib slit. It looks like there's a weld on the back of the nib at the base, we're not sure if this was a repair or part of the original construction of the nib, but it's very smooth and well done.
Condition Excellent condition with no chips, dents, or dings. This is a velvety black, shiny pen in a classic design. The cap and barrel have light to moderate scratching. The lever has plating wear around the open end. The clip face has some polishing marks and one pinpoint ding, and there is some plating wear along the sides of the clip. The white dot looks great. The wide cap band is nice and shiny, with some microscratches and small touches of brassing around the cap lip. The imprints are very clear.
