Nib MEDIUM steel nib, very smooth. It is marked Schmidt Iridium Point medium.
Condition Excellent + condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. This is a velvety black, shiny pen that is sleek and elegant. It fits nicely in the rounded pen holder (creating a modern executive desk set). The pen has light scratching, mainly in the area where it sits in the pen holder. The pen holder has some microscratching along the outer ring. The imprints on the pen holder (on the silver around the hole) are clear.
