I am considering getting one of my lesser used nibs italicized at the Raleigh pen show in a few weeks. My most recent italic was the Aurora Optima/88 factory medium italic. I know I want something with a line width a bit thinner than that, but I never actually measured the nib width before I traded it away.

So, if you can tell me how wide that nib is I can prepare accordingly. Thanks.

Hi, Doug. According to John Mottishaw's website, the Aurora italic is an .8mm italic. Best,
