Hi, everyone. I have a question for those of you who own Extras: is the nib on the Extra the generic Bock Delta/Stipula/Bexley/Conway Stewart/Tibaldi nib? I know Montegrappa uses Bock nibs on some of its models, but I can't tell from pictures whether that's the case with the Extra. Any in fo would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance,
David

Hi David,

I notice from the title of your post, you received an answer. Care to share the info? I am curious since I find myself wandering deeper into Italian territory.

Thanks very much,

Hi, Michael. The nib on the Extra is an over-sized nib, not the generic Bock nib. However, I bought a regular-sized Montegrappa nib, such as those that fit other MG models, and it fits the generic Bock nib collar (as well as the generic Bock feed). I currently have that nib in my Delta Moresi.
Regards
David
