Nib POSTING nib is 18k. Posting nibs have no flex and are supposed to have specially ground tips intended to be extra smooth, and point a bit downward for making good contact with Japanese post cards. Here's a great discussion of the various types of Japanese nibs.
Condition Very nice with some light scratches on the long section, caused by the cap sliding on and off. No dents or dings or pitting. Some wear on the trim, especially edges of the clip and the top edge.
