Nib FINE Sheaffer's Lifetime two-tone gold nib is fairly smooth and firm with nice tipping material. The silver colored masking is slightly worn, but this does not affect the way it writes at all.
Condition Excellent condition. No cracks or chips, dings, dents, or plating wear. There's some light scratching on the pen. The imprint is nice and clear. The pen has been fully restored and is working very well.
The cap band is engraved "Emil Balangero" (see photos below). This was a feature of the Autograph pens, where the actual signature of the owner is reproduced on the bands.
