Edison Glenmont -Green Swirl Ebonite
PEN:
The is the limited edition Badger and Blade 2011 #44 out 64
Beautiful green swirl ebonite, reminds me of the aurora borealis
There was a small crack on the threads below the grip section that has been sealed and the threads and cap close just fine. Does not affect performance of the pen.
Pen can be converted to an eyedropper, though I haven't tried this. Just apply silicone grease on threads. Comes with cartridge/converter.

NIB:
I have experimented and modified the steel nib. It is a medium stub/cursive italic and with added flex (ease my flex mod, but this nib is not too flexible nor do you want to push it too far, it just gives the nib open tinges with a little less pressure). The tip of nib has a little bent but does not effect performance
Writes pretty smooth. The flex is nothing spectacular but you can squeeze some out and get some line variation.
If you do not like the nib, it can be easily replaced by getting a new #6 sized nibs from goutletpens nib ($15) or xfountainpens Knox nib ($5-8) or another screw-in edison nib and feed (25).
