Nib 23k Double Broad "dreamtouch" Nib. The nib is labeled "23k Pd 950 Firenze BB." Soft feeling springy nib.
Condition Near mint, only lightly used. The viewing window and the white acrylic have no ink stains. There are a few very light scratches at the bottom of the overlay on the cap. The line beneath the "ripple" photographed rubbed off. The slight handwear shown at the end of the barrel is barely noticeable in hand even with a lens. There is one pin-sized mark above the "ripple" that is photographed. Otherwise, no scratches or signs of usage. The white lines on the sides of the clip are glimpses of the white "Visconti" label and not lacquer wear. We will ship it in a Visconti box, but it is not the original limited edition box.
