Nib Fine gold "Taperite" semi-hooded nib has some give to it, and will give you a little bit of line variation. One tine is larger than the other, but they both have excellent tipping material and the nib writes smoothly. Please see writing sample below.
Condition Excellent condition. This is a lovely, dark, shiny pen, in a unique design. The cap and barrel have light to moderate wear. The cap has a shallow dent on the clutch ring, and some scattered marks on the surface. The cap lip is brassed, as is the rivet on the top of the cap. The lever looks good, as does the clutch ring. The imprints are slightly worn but still visible.
