Nib |
Gold "Junior" nib is really a stand-out! This nib has a subtle italic cut to it, and a nice bit of flex. It is super fun to write with! Very smooth, with good line variation. (See writing sample.) These Sheaffer Jr.s are frequently found with other nibs, such as the 33, so it's a real treat to find one with the less common "Junior" nib. |
Condition | Excellent used condition with light hand wear on the cap and barrel. No cracks. The trim is worn on the cap band, but nice on the clip and lever. Very readable imprint. We re-sacked and tested the pen, and it's ready to write. The nib is like new. |
