In addition to the items noted above, there are the typical age related surface scratches and wear that are commensurate with a vintage writing instrument. Please see all the photos for complete description of the pen's aesthetic condition. The nib has been water and ink tested - it will write.
That being said, it seems everyone has a different opinion on nib writing quality, my writing experience and yours may differ based on your writing style - because of this fact, the nib is accepted "as-is". Again, please see all the photos for full details of the condition of the pen.
