Nib 1.6mm Stub Gold Nib by Greg Minuskin. Very wet, and it's rather particular about the writing angle and does best when square to the line of the page, i.e. not rotated. If you have a really upright writing angle, these can be difficult to write with as the tip is a bit obscured. Please see writing sample.
Condition Excellent + condition with no cracks, dents, or dings. This is a dark green, shiny pen with a silky lustrous cap, a classic clip and with double pearlescent jewels. The section has long, thin scratch lines as well as light chipping along the edge of the feed. The barrel has light scratching and marks caused by the cap lip. The lustraloy cap has some light microscratching, one very small double dot mark to the right of the end of the clip and two horizontal lines that circle the cap just under the clip. The clip has plating wear along the arrow edge and right side. The blue diamond is excellent -- completely intact. The clip ring has a little darkening along the lower edge and one tiny scratch mark. The top cap jewel has light scratching and darkening along the outer edge. The jewel at the end of the barrel is a little darkened but looks great overall. There are no imprints.
