[https://theHuntproject.com/NIB%20SHEETS/Hunt%2059%20FALCON%20PEN/Hunt%2059%20FALCON%20PEN.html The Hunt Project] says that Hunt considered this to be their flagship pen. The leading "zero" is always included in the name of this pen. The Project describes this nib as a robust, sharp-pointed pen. With convolutions in the waist area to increase the body diameter to greater than the heel diameter. Medium point and medium flex. Narrow oval vent hole with blunted ends. Examples in bronze, gold-plated, silver, gray finish, amalgam, copper plated, and tar coated.
