| Nib | 14k "Sheaffer Lifetime" fine nib is in great condition with a good quantity of tipping material. Firm, no flex, very smooth with a bit of an upturn. (The nib was originally partially masked, but the masking wore off and now it looks completely gold. |
| Condition | Very nice condition with only light handwear to the plastic and trim. No serious blemishes and no cracks. The pen is fairly shiny and smooth to the touch, with a good imprint. Very nice trim .... a little wear on the lever and clip. There's an area on the barrel where engraving has been partially removed, but that's the only real blemish other than general wear. |
