Sorry if this is in the wrong section. Wasn't sure where to post.

I have been looking online at a variety of sites but have not found much selection with the Broad nib.

Anyone know of any particularly good sources for this model which might come with the Broad option?

 

Thanks very much.

If you haven't found it already, the Levenger Outlet on eBay may have them. I also believe you can purchase just the nib unit

from Levenger.com as they are interchangeable.

Thanks! I didn't know you could get a nib from Levenger that would fit these. Excellent news.

It's the modern Esterbrook....my vintage fave!

You can also use TWSBI nibs in these pens, I believe.

I've been out of the loop for a minute.....Say what?

Read this article before trying that combo...wouldn't want to damage your pen or the nib....https://nibandlens.wordpress.com/2013/12/30/levenger-l-tech-and-truewriter/

The older TWSBI's , the 530 and some of the 540 models used the same Schmidt nibs if I recall correctly. There were multiple discussions of this here on FPN.

 

I should not have offered incomplete information without the cautions.

I just bought one right from Levenger the other day. It was a TW Classic in black with a broad nib, and it was available in other sizes too.

I've seen them on the Levenger site and Amazon.com - I had to replace one of my broad nibs since one of my students dropped it nib down.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
