Nib FINE 14k nib. It is a Parker Lucky Curve #2 nib with a P imprint. There are some scratches on the surface of the nib, but that doesn't affect the way it writes.
Condition Excellent condition with no cracks. This is a short, good looking pen that has classic styling. The original velvety black color can be seen on the section. Otherwise, the color has faded to a dark chocolate brown on the cap and barrel. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip and mainly light scratching. There are a few small, deep scratch marks above the blind cap. The cap looks great with just a couple little scratch marks to the left of the end of the clip. The cap band has light microscratching; it looks excellent. The clip has wear on the ball end and along the top as well as microscratching. The imprints are somewhat faded but they are legible especially with magnification.
