This pen was used sparingly - probably inked twice and then stored. The body is clean and has no obvious signs of wear. The cap has a few barely noticeable scratches that I tried to capture in the pictures but it’s really quite hard to find them. Nonetheless, I’m marking this as a C for this reason.

The nib is probably the best M nib I’ve used. It’s better than my Pilot 845 M nib: it is smooth, has just a bit of feedback, with average wetness: not as wet as a Pelikan, not as dry as a Pilot. The size is true to western M size.

S.T. Dupont Medici <F> 18k nib.

Condition: C

Asking: $550

Comes with: a non S.T. Dupont box and an S.T. Dupont converter.

This pen is so beautiful but I also don’t use this pen enough. I used it for a few months (purchased used) and then stored it but love looking at it. I’d like it to go to a good home where it can get more love and use. Conditions wise, it’s in really good condition, the body doesn’t have any obvious signs of scratching. There’s a small chip in one of the jasper diamonds on the cap that I tried to capture so I’m rating it a C.

Here’s an FPN review of the pen.

The nib is a very smooth F nib. It’s a bit on the wet side but not overly so (e.g., less wet than a Pelikan F). It also has a bit of bounce. The cap has a nice solid click to it and seals really well.

Unfortunately I don’t have the original box for this pen but will find a way of protecting this pen thoroughly (possibly cannibalizing another pen box).
