The Nib writes so smoothly - one of the smoothest Nibs I have ever written with and an absolute pleasure to use. The 18K NIB has a medium point measuring roughly 0.78mm when measured with digital calipers. When creating a writing sample, the NIB writes with a medium stroke\/line. The writing sample provided in the listing ranges from .64mm to .68mm when measured with digital calipers. The writing sample was done with the actual pen in the images that are listed for sale. The writing sample was used by dipping the NIB in Parker Quink Blue Ink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fountain pen comes with the original box, ST DuPont literature, and a box of ink cartridges. Everything that would have come with the pen when brand new, is here. These came out in the 1980s in several lacquer finishes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a color specimen from S.T. Dupont with a wonderful nib - it is a Statement piece!
