Nib BROAD 14k nib. The feed is labeled B. A very nice, smooth writing pen.
Condition Excellent condition, with a caveat. The material on the cap and barrel has warped a bit, and there are a couple of spots where the shrinkage is evident. On the cap, there is a gap below the clip band, and a visual inspection easily shows where the material has kind of slumped about halfway down the cap. You can also feel this with your fingers. The barrel is warped to a slightly lesser degree, and there is a gap between the ink window and the barrel. Having said this, we do not believe that this will affect the pen's function and we guarantee the filling system for a year from the date of purchase. The filling system works well, and the cap easily screws onto the pen's body. There is light handwear and scratching on both cap and barrel. No brassing or plating wear on the trim. The imprints are clear.
