Nib FINE 14k two-tone nib, correct for the Saratoga model. It's smooth and firm with nice tipping material and has a little spring but not much line variation.
Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a light colored, shiny pen with classic styling. The coloration makes it very difficult to see any scratches. The cap and barrel have light signs of usage, mainly long and thin marks with some short little grooves here and there. The cap band has light scratching visible under magnification. The clip has microscratches along the sides. The imprints are slightly worn, but clear and easily read.
