Nib MEDIUM FLEXIBLE John Holland CIN.O gold nib. It looks like a medium, but you get line variation from fine to broad or double-broad. See writing sample. NOTE: there is a crack in the bottom half of the nib, which runs from the first line of the imprint down to where the nib enters the section, which you can see in the close-up photos of the nib. It does not contact the breather hole or tines, and with gentle use should not be problematic.
Condition Very Nice condition. The barrel has light marks caused by the cap lip and moderate scratching. The lever has plating wear along the sides. The cap has moderate scratching and some larger individual scratches. The cap band has some touches of brassing. The clip has plating wear on the edges, and some dots of pitting. The imprints are clear.
The barrel is personalized with "WM. MYLER".
