Nib has full iridium and reads "Ever Ready 14K" A nice fine nib. It originally had a bad flat spot from use over the years, and was very rough. I have taken away most of the flat spot and the nib is much smoother than before, however there is still some "feedback" (not much; just wanted to mention this)

The Lever box has some swelling. It has hard to photograph, but once again, just wanted to show that its there.

On top of the really cool Art Deco design, the nib is what makes this pen:
