This is a Sheaffer School pen. It has a boring fine nib that was a little scratchy. No one wants one of those. I spent some time and ground that down to a 0.8mm fine italic. I smoothed it until it didn't catch the paper on upstrokes and flourishes. It still has a small amount of tooth though. I throughly cleaned the pen and the writing samples are dipped only. I'm not sure how wet this writes with a cartridge. I do have a Turquoise Sheaffer cartridge I can try if you want to know how wet it writes with a cartridge. I will then ship it with the cartridge installed.
It is in good used shape. There are marks on the body from posting, but you can't see them once the pen is posted :D

That looks less than 1mm. 0.8mm-ish maybe?
