Esterbrook Pens and What They Will Do describes this as "designed for modified or natural slant style of writing, and has proven a success. Fits any penholder."
Described in contemporary advertising (The 1938 Esterbrook Catalog) as, "Firm, medium. Large pen with large ink capacity. Gray finish."
The Esterbrook Project describes this nib as having "a tapered body with a sharp point, a multilobed vent hole, and lightly curved slits at the shoulders." The #702 Modified Slant is distinguished from a virtually identical nib with the same number, but a different descriptor--the Esterbrook #702 School Medium Firm Pen.
Brandon McKinney's analysis of the markings and grindings date this version of the #702 Modified Slant Pen as 1929-1939.
