Nib FINE two-tone Triumph 14k gold nib is firm and smooth with nice tipping material. The masking looks quite nice, with good definition between the silver and gold areas.
Condition Excellent condition. No cracks or chips, dings or dents, or personalization. The blind cap has a bit of roughness on the edge. The barrel has light to moderate scratching. The cap threads look good, with just a bit of brassing in the lower areas of the grooves. The ridges on the section are somewhat smoothed out. The cap band has tiny touches of brassing, as does the open end of the clip. The top of the cap has some small tooth marks. The imprint is clear and readable. The pen is fully restored and working well.
