Please look carefully at the photos—they're an important part of the description.
Understanding flex: As used here, "semiflex" means just enough flex to lend a cushioned feel to writing. Deliberate downstroke pressure may produce some line variation. A writing sample is included in the photos.
This pen has been restored to proper working order, tested with high-quality fountain pen ink, and hand polished.
