Nib
MEDIUM nib is 18k and marked manifold - The manifold was supposed designed for writing through the paper for duplicates.. Well, many argue that the 18kt soft gold makes it actually less stiff as you might think.. I tested it and it has mild flexibility and and nib roughly a medium or broad tip and with slight pressure you can very the line thickness.. These are very rare to find and if you under stand my description, it makes for a fun, delightful and smooth writing experience for any purpose with a ///flair///
Condition
Excellent except for some VERY VERY light scratches on the converter section, caused by the cap sliding on and off ..No scratches or scuffs... Caps slide on/off like butter- I tested before putting a New converter in it and it...
TESTING
I will test write for you if you are seriously interested.. I have a pen flush to clean afterward.. Let me know... I don't want to disappoint.
