Nib Fine semi-flexible nib, marked "Carter INX Pen". Not very soft feeling, but you get good line variation from fine to medium plus. See writing sample below.
Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a dark black, shiny pen that is in beautiful condition. The lower barrel has a crack that starts about 1/8" from the end and runs for a little over 1/4". Other than that, both the cap and barrel look fantastic with just a small light occasional scratch. The lined pattern is intact. The cap band has light microscratching. The clip is lovely with just a few microscratches near the top. The orange band at the top of the cap is bright and flawless. The barrel imprint is clear as is the model number on the flat end of the barrel.
