I love the simplistic style of the Sheaffer's Triumph nib myself!

Hear, hear. Love that Triumph nib!

Considering my general distaste for gold - my favorite TWO-tone nib would be the silver nib on my Pelikan M625 with a little smear of DC Supershow Blue.... Does that count? roller1.gif

Clarification: I'm not entirely OCD. I will tolerate gold in a nib biggrin.gif

Here are some of my favorites. None of them too unusual but all beautifully executed, in my opinion.

The only two-tone nib I have (so far) is a Waterman Phileas, so I guess I'll have to vote for that, wink.gif

I quite like the DaniTrio ones... the one with the outline of a sun or fireball or something...

Ryan, I quite like that bottom right picture of that nib! What kind is that? Could it be a Triumph nib? biggrin.gif Definitely my favorite! You like them too, Wackyjacky1?

The most beautiful nib, in my opinion, is the one on the Cross 150th Anniversary Limited Edition Fountain Pen. If you want to see a great article, with some phenomenal pictures, go to Jim Mamoulides' site:

I like the old-style Omas 2-tone nibs, especially #4 and #11:





I'm trying to figure out what kind of Omas pen uses a Mandela nib (#14).

I was being facetious when I said "what kind is that?" thumbup.gif

I tend to like simple, monotone gold nibs but the nib on the Omas Bologna looks amazing. I want to buy the pen just to stare at the nib.

I like the visconti special edition dual tone, followed by danitrio's
georges zaslavsky
parker duofold centennial and pelikan söveran 800 and 1000 nibs.
