Hi there.
I'm currently lusting the Edson Saphire Blue (why does the Sterling Silver LE cost so much)...
I'd like to know what nib sizes are available for the Edson. Thank you.

All the usual ones: BB, B, M, F, XF.

What are you after in particular?

Aren't there any Oblique or Italic grades?

Waterman made both an oblique and stub italic nib versions for the Edson - I have one of each. You may have to hunt a bit for them and do a post-acquisition swap out.

It is worth the hassle - they are indeed lovely nibs.

Won't Waterman do a nib swap if mine is uninked?

Yes -- Waterman will do an exchange, but call them first & make sure they still have the nib you want.

I have bought different nibs via e-bay.com for my Edson.

The seller has a range of nibs.

I bought a lovely oblique broad variety which is my favourite combination.

Will post his e-bay name shortly.

Regards

Ian.
