Nib 14k nib is marked "Watermans IDEAL 14k" and is fine and flexible in a daily-user way, not full flex. See writing sample below. There are some tool marks visible on the right side of the nib, as well as some scratching on the upper surface and a deep scratch on the feed, but these do not affect the writing performance.

The rivet holding the cap in place has lost its plating and has a lot of dots of pitting. The cap band has a lot of scratching. There is a big scratch mark on the feed.
