Stub nibs are tough to find on preowned luxury pens. We lucked out with this Parker Sonnet. Made of sterling silver, this pen is free of dents and any significant scratches. You fill the pen with the include Parker converter, but it also takes Parker cartridges. Of course, the main attraction is its 18k gold stub nib. Nib guru Richard Binder might call it a cursive italic. It writes with 1mm of width to an extra-fine line. The corners of the nib sometimes dig a little into the paper for some feedback. However, if you find the sweet spot on the nib, it is usually fairly smooth. 13.2cm capped.
