Nib SEMI-FLEX MEDIUM Sheaffer's #3-25 gold nib is smooth with nice tipping material. It has a nice semi-flexibility to it with line variation from medium to a large broad, but a sort of firm feel to it.
Condition Very nice condition. There's some scratching here and there on the cap and barrel, along with some small bite marks on the end of the barrel. There are short hairline cracks around where the clip is anchored into the cap, but the clip still feels very secure and the cracks do not appear to spread or be a problem other than cosmetically. There's a little brassing on the ball of the clip and on its very sides, but overall the trim looks very good. No dings or dents, no personalization. It's fully restored and working well.
