In a batch of nibs, I found a 9550 which is black and not green --- anyone ever come across this before?

Hi William,
I also have a 9550 with a black plastic shaft with otherwise the same markings as your photo.
Maybe we are both rich?
Mine came out of an over-priced mis-described ebay buy so it would be good to profit in some way.
Regards
Jim

I'm not sure if I've seen this before or not, but am not too surprised. Interesting variant!

I've got a 9556 with a black base. I don't think it means anything especially, and doubt it affects the value of the nib.

Just checked my points and I have the following in black:
9668, 9556, 9550

Thanks everyone for the feedback!
So they're a little unusual, but not unheard of.
They do make a dark pen look better IMO.
