Nib: 14k Evans #2 nib is a Super-Flexible Factory Stub. Under normal pressure it lays down a F line on the down-strokes and XF line on the cross-strokes. And the line widens to a 4B+ (approx 2.4mm) under light pressure. Versatile variation, strong snap-back, and reliable flow over its full range of flex at a normal writing angle make it another great choice for calligraphic writing styles, the stub grind keeping one’s letterforms neat and straight. 

Condition: Hard rubber retains its factory black color with virtually no oxidation. Chasing is factory deep and sharp. Gold-plated lever is clean aside from a couple pin-sized marks. HR surface is smooth and lustrous with no deep scratches or other notable flaws.

Details: This clipless flat top has no maker’s marks. It's made of black chased hard rubber complemented by gold-plated levers of a design that suggests 1920s manufacture. Cap came clipless from the factory (no holes drilled for a clip).
