Nib MEDIUM gold Sheaffer Lifetime nib is in nice condition with appropriate tipping material. It's smooth and firm. The masking is in great condition. There's a bit of a gap between the tines but the tip connects and the pen writes well. There's a short stable tear, less than a milimeter in legnth, running down from the breather hole. This will not affect the writing experience.
Condition Excellent + condition. There are no cracks or chips, and the pen is not personalized. It's restored and working well. The celluloid is in excellent condition with only light scratches. There are some microscratches on the trim but it's in great condition and the pen shows minimal wear. The imprint is clear.
