Pilot Prera -- Is There An Alternative Large Nib Available?

[MTHALL720]

I got the Prera and am just delighted with it, except for the nib. It is a medium nib but I just can't get used to it. I am used to having broad or even BB nibs. Before selling it or trading it, (I just bought it), I wanted to see if anyone knows of a broad nib that I could easily swap out for this one?

Plumix italic nib will fit, as will the B (stub) from a 78G. I don't have experience with the Plumix nib, but I believe it's the same width as the 78G B (stub).

 

If there's something else, I'd be interested to know so I could play around with it in my Metro.

I have tried all of the prera, plumix, 78G, metro, and kakuno. They all use the same nib so yes, they are all perfectly interchangeable with eachother.

 

Plumix comes with a very nice italic nib which I've put on all of my pilots. Plumix nib is the same as a "B" nib on a 78G. And the "BB" nib on a 78G is even wider. I use it for practicing my gothic script. Its too wide for everyday use.

 

The plumices can be had for super cheap on amazon (especially if you get the 12-pack)

 

The 78G with a BB nib is probably available from Teri at peyton street pens. I got mine from there.

 

(No affiliation with either, just a happy customer )

The Plumix is almost always sold with an M nib, so not the same as any of the 78g nibs, as all the Plumix nibs are italic.

 

If you look hard enough, however, you can find B and BB (as well as F and EF).
