Sheaffer Balance - Military Clip

[Ray-VIgo]

This Balance is a slender, full-length model in pretty good shape. Has a few small scratches but nothing broken or cracked. Ink window is darkened a bit but still viewable. Nib is a firm fine (maybe just a hair larger than fine) with two-tone plating. Has a serial number on the nib. A nice, relatively clean Balance with a very streamlined look.

$45 shipped in the lower 48 US states.

How is the nib smoothness? Do you have a writing sample?

[Ray-VIgo]

I find this one to be a smooth writer. It's a firm, fine, maybe fine+ nib. Would make a good note taker or work pen. Sample below on Black and Red paper, Waterman Blue-Black ink. The pen is just under 5 and 1/4 inches long.
