GREAT LOOKING PEN. *NOTE: THE PHOTOS SHOW A SLIGHT COLOR VARIATION IN THE CAP TO THE BARREL - IT IS NOT APPARENT IN YOUR HAND.
**A NOTE ABOUT WRITING SAMPLES: WRITING SAMPLES ARE PURELY SUBJECTIVE. THEY ONLY SHOW THE\"ABILITY\"OF A NIB.HOW A NIB \"FEELS\" OR \"WRITES\" IN MY HAND HAS NO BEARING ON HOW IT MAY PERFORM IN YOURS. IT ALSO WILL NOT TELL YOU THE\"FEED CAPACITY\"OF A PEN -TO WHAT EXTENT THE FEED MAY BE ABLE TO SUPPLY ENOUGH INK TO THE NIB FOR CALLIGRAPHY STYLE WRITING. NIBS IN VINTAGE PENS HAVE BEEN WORN TO YEARS OF WRITING FROM POSSIBLY MANY DIFFERENT OWNERS. WE STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT ALL NIBS BE\"SET\"TO YOUR HAND FOR WRITING. THE USE OF 1500 FINISHING PAPER AND THEN PROGRESSIVE 3K TO 8K BLOCKS WILL SET THE NIBS SMOOTHLY TO YOUR HAND.
