Here's a flex Triumph nib. These are, as has been said, pretty hard to find. This one is in a burgundy TM pen, which I got in a set at the Boston pen show this year. It's a big blobby medium point. There's a good amount of flex, but because of the roundness and width of the point, this does not come out too well. Note that the white metal plating that creates the two-tone effect is not separated from the rest of the nib by the normal incised line.

That a nice little gem there- not something you see all the time.

I just checked out my TM Sentinal that has a flex triumph nib, and it also does not have the incised line. Never noticed that before. It is similar - a semi-flex, maybe semi-flex plus (on a scale including Waterman New York nib flex), but a big blobby medium that does not do justice to the flex. I have really wondered what this would be like with an F or XF nib - but never quite felt right in getting it reground.

Have to shoot some pics sometimes.

Interesting. Thanks for the great pics.

Awesome! Now if only I could find an F.
