Nib SEMI-FLEX EXTRA FINE gold Waterman's Ideal #2 nib. It's smooth with lovely tipping. The top of the nib is a little worn, but this doesn't affect its writing at all. It's flexes easily to a medium line, and with a little pressure you can get a small broad line from it. See writing sample below.

The barrel is engraved LS on the barrel (see photos).
