If you know your vintage nibs, the name Paul E. Wirt name should not need a lot of description.
This nib is no.2 with the signature slit with no breathing hole, but writes just fine and flexes really well:

Someone has in the past grafted this nib onto a very cute Epenco body.
I've never seen an Epenco (4 3/8 inches capped) that looks like this:

Since I have the pen apart for cleaning, I'll go ahead and put a new sac in.
The cap has a gap below the band, and the body has some dints, but the pattern is really pretty.

Really, this sale is about the nib, the body comes with the nib.
If I have a spare Wirt hard rubber eye-droppper body, I'll put the nib on it. Alas, I do not.
Price: $80
Shipping is $2.50 First Class with tracking, let me know if you want to add for insurance, by default there is none.
