Received a Conklin Crescent Filler (probably a #20, it's 10.5cm uncapped up to the section lip, 13.5cm capped, just shy over 1cm thick on the barrel).
Unfortunately the Conklin nib on it has cracks on both sides of the breather hole from being sprung (so I'm on the lookout for a replacement semi-flex/flex nib that's 27mm x 6mm), went ahead and disassembled it to check all the insides, and sac seems to be holding good for 24 hours now (got it talc'd up), I'll seal the section again once I figure out the appropriate sac size and get it re-done new. (The seller has been rather upstanding in regards to the advertised flexible nib showing abuse)
In the meantime I pulled the semi-flex EF Swan #2 nib I have off my Swan 205/60 until I can get an original conklin nib. I like the body of the crescent filler so far, it's longer and slightly thicker than my 205/60.
Debating whether or not I'd want to send it off to be re-blackened.
