Nib FLEXIBLE FINE Conklin #2 Toledo gold nib is very smooth with nice tipping. Almost fully flexible with very easy line variation from fine to a nice broad with light pressure. See our writing sample below.
Condition Excellent + condition. The coloration is strong and even, with very little fading. The chasing pattern on the cap is really strong, while the barrel pattern has faded a bit. The trim and imprints look great. The details in the crescent and on the clip are intact as are the grooves on the band that rotates within the crescent. The clip is straight and firmly in place, with no brassing. No cracks or chips, dings or dents, or personalization. The imprints are slightly faded, but still mostly readable. It's fully restored and working well.
