Conklin Pen Co. vintage "no clue what model".
Condition: D. Very much D for the pen, the nib is awesome though.
With 14K superflex oblique nib FOR LEFTIES. It's a right-footed oblique, and it's really awkward to write with this if you are right handed, but a great vintage superflex if you are left handed. Which I am not.
There are some really nice blues in the pattern.
Imprint is kind of legible: The Conklin Pen Co, Chigaco Ill USA, Reg Pat Off. Cap band is a bit uneven but not loose. Some minor corrosion (not really rusty, but not great) on the clip.

Missing lever! (Comes with ink sac, manually squeeze to fill works fine, good ink capacity)
The connection between the section and the barrel is a bit loose, makes for easy filling but I've added a tiny bit of washi tape to make it a snug fit.
This nib clearly looks like it has issues - there's slightly wide gap between the tines at the tip and the tines are a bit misaligned. BUT: It writes absolutely great, so I'm not messing with it. Once you get it at the correct angle for an oblique - it's super smooth, had great ink flow and never catches the paper.
