the nib is originally plated in rhodium, a brilliant white platinum metal.

it had many scratches on it, along with some minor micro scratches from retipping work.

it seems that edson rhodium plating is easily damaged than expected, although other brands might be similar.

so it made sense to actually polish the entire nib.

hence, a two tone edson is born!

original nib after retipping:

internal mechanism seems very interesting!

so i decided to leave these valuable pictures on the web.
