Width Of The Widest Pendleton Point.

[kcunvong]

What is the widest tipping size of a Pendleton Point? Can I please get some of the pen owner's writing samples? There are plenty of Pendleton's samples on this forum, but I need to see variations of writing samples, done by different people.

 

I am getting a Pelikan 250 with a bold nib for my birthday in the next month, and I am considering making it either a flexible pen, or a CI. Or, I also have a bold point nail of a Skyline that may become the CI pen instead. I eventually need to have both types of nibs, but for now, my finances allow me only one. I've noticed that Pendleton Brown makes very distinct CI nibs, more different than any other nibmeister. Perhaps it is because of his distinct handwriting.

 

Thanks,

Mick

The width of a reground nib depends on how wide the original nib is to begin with....

Obviously a BB nib can be ground to a wider italic than a M nib.....

If you are getting a Pelikan 250 and want a custom nib, I recommend you purchase one directly from Richard Binder... he has many stock custom nibs for the Pelikan pens and can set you up with no waiting time... Should you want a nib he does not have in stock it will be ground immediately for sale with the pen....

I shipped a BB to Pendleton last week, so I expect to have it back in a week or so, that I can give you a writing sample for if no one else gets a BB sample before me.

Thank you guys for your quick responses and advice. OldGriz, the pen was already purchased, but I will also keep Richard in mind. The Pel is an older model, with West Germany label, something I've been on the lookout for a while. Pensfan, thank you. I look forward to seeing a customer's writing sample.
