I purchased this approximately 5-6 years ago (14K nib). It hasn't been used much and has mostly been for display. While writing feel is a matter of personal preference, I had it adjusted once at a pen clinic, so I don't think the writing quality is extremely poor. I hesitated to part with it, but due to decluttering my stationery, I'm offering it to someone who will use it. I'll also include the original converter that I used with it. No price reduction is possible. - Color: White - Nib material: Gold plated - Contents: Cap, nib, ink cartridge Thank you for looking.
