The Esterbrook Project describes this nib as having "an up-tapering pen body with a sharp point. An unusual double ball vent hole. Gray finish." The #702 School Medium Firm is distinguished from a virtually identical nib with the same number, but a different descriptor--the Esterbrook #702 Modified Slant Pen.
