you can see the clarity on the unlit shots,

#2 Accountant in a 52 1/2 v Red Ripple nib, feed, and section  $45

extra fine, firm nib

#18 Emblem Pen nib feed and section.  $75

i believe this to be the oversize nib, its 34MM long

slight-semi flex nib, broad tipping.  it does not flex much, but it flexes easily.  

1930's "Waterman's Ideal" nib feed and section.  $35

faint flex, medium point
i have no idea what this goes to so i am marking it down fairly cheep.  

its section is larger than a 52 section, it fits snuggly on a 55 section, 

and the nib is sized right for a 54 or a 55

it would probably be ideal for use in a custom pen.
