Nib EXTRA-FINE Two-Tons Feather Touch #5 nib. Please note that this nib is extremely fine, closer to a Japanese extra fine than a modern extra fine.
Condition Excellent condition with no cracks, chips, dents, or dings. The main flaw is plating wear, visible on the clip and band. This is a beautifully colored, whiny pen that looks great. The cap and barrel have light lines that could be from polishing and that give the surface a brushed appearance in some places. The barrel has marks caused by the cap lip and moderate scratching. The lever has smudges of plating wear as well as light microscratching. The imprints are clear.
