Nib Broad 14k Parker England #5 nib. It is labeled 5 which means that it's a Slimfold nib and matches the pen.
Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a smallish dark blue pen that is shiny and that has classic styling. The cap and barrel have moderate scratching. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip and from posting. The decorated cap band has some wear along the top edge, a couple of dots of plating wear, and general microscratching. The clip has a dot of plating wear on the right edge of the clip. Otherwise, it has light microscratching. The top black jewel is excellent. The imprints are clear.
