Nib MEDIUM Triumph nib, probably PdAg. (This is a replacement nib, as the model usually has 14k two-tone nibs.)
Condition Excellent condition. Fountain pen: The barrel has light to moderate scratching. The blind cap looks great; the knurling here is really clean. The cap has some denting, especially to the left of the clip and at the top. There is light scratching all over the cap, as well as little dots of pitting. The clip has plating wear along the sides and around the top edge. The white dot looks good. Mechanical pencil: light scratching and handwear, but it looks really nice in hand. There is microscratching on the cap, and dots of pitting, but no dents or dings. The clip has some plating wear along the sides. The imprints on both pieces are clear.
