Color Black body and cap. Gold plated trim. Wide, 3/8", cap band with simple border etched within.
Nib Medium-broad palladium-silver (not hallmarked, but correct for this model) conical Triumph nib with a nice Waverly-style tip (upturned for smoother writing). The nib is firm and smooth. There is no nib size imprint, however this nib looks bigger than a medium so we are calling it medium-broad.
Condition Excellent condition. The cap and barrel have light scratching. The cap band is nice and shiny. The clip and white dot look great. There is a small spot of plating wear at the very base of the nib, but this will not affect the performance of the pen in any way. No posting marks on the barrel. There are no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. The imprints are clear. The pen comes in a vintage Sheaffer box with instructions underneath the pad.
