Nib XM 14k nib is reversible. When the nib is designated with two letters, when you write with the nib in the normal position and you get one line width (medium), then flip it over and write with the other side and you'll get the other line width (extra fine). As a result of the reversible nature though the tips don't really write as labeled. The medium side writes like a fine and the extra fine side writes almost like a needlepoint. Please see the writing sample below.
Condition Superior condition. The trim looks great and there is very little handwear. There's one or two marks on the nib and a few spots on the cap where the coloring looks a little different even though the finish is intact. No scratches, chips, cracks, or dents. The trim is in excellent condition. In Parker 180 box.
