Nib FINE FLEXIBLE gold Sheaffer Self-Filling #2 nib is smooth with nice tipping material. It's what we would describe as fully flexible, with easy line variation from fine to a nice large broad with only very light pressure, and it easily flexes to a thick double broad. See writing sample below.
Condition Very nice condition. No cracks or chips, dings, dents, or personalization. There's just some minor discoloration on the cap and the chasing is a bit worn. The imprint is mostly worn, but still readable under magnification. We've fully restored the pen and it's working very well.
