Hi.

 

A friend of mine have a old senator pen (the company not the parker model) that have a strange nib design. The nib don't have any marks that show that it have been bent by accident and it writes really good the way it is now.

 

The pen was given to my friends mother in Ukraine 20years ago or more.

 

From what I can find the pen is of the model souverän but i have been unable to find any more info on it or picture on-line. It was deliverer in a box with a similar style roller ball pen.

The text on the nib say "Schmidt fine iridium point"

That looks like something I got up to in school when I knew nothing about pens. It's an exaggeration of a DIY, kitchen-table-surgery flow adjustment on a point; it's not dropped, but carefully and deliberately done.

 

...OR, someone who almost knew how to work an FP wrote with it upside down and with too much pressure. Same effect, but not done on purpose.

Agge, I don't know anything about your nib, but I have one with a similar bend that is also purposeful. It writes wonderfully, so I don't worry about it.

 

And I also was expecting to see angels on a nib! I am a native writer of American English, but I don't proofread my own work very well, so I come of up with some bad typos very often; I appreciate that your little mistake has given me a great new image!

I have an Esterbrook with a nib like this, and it writes perfectly.

Whatever is true,whatever is noble,whatever is right,whatever is pure,whatever is lovely,whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things.

I cured a '36 Parker Canadian nib on a 39 Vac, bent like that.

Take a spiral notebook (so there is space for the feed to be free), place the nib on the paper, use the end edge of a drill bit, and press and roll/run it down the nib tip at the same time.

Don't use too much pressure, each time. Soon it will be straight enough....you don't want to press the nib away from the feed. There can be a slight bend to it...some nibs have that.

In reference to P. T. Barnum; to advise for free is foolish, ........busybodies are ill liked by both factions.

Don't worry , I supost you wish to write "strange angle on a nib" , thats fine for me, everything is context.

Btw, go to tools and zoom it to 400 then you will see the nib tip as the head of an angel and the streams of light in both sides are the wings. Greetings.

Well, more to the point...

 

I have a few pens with this sort of nib configuration, a Conway Stewart comes to mind, vintage. Pens from the 40s and 50s. I think that the nibs were made that way and served some sort of purpose.

 

Upshot: This is normal for your nib and if it writes well, leave it as it is and relax.

No, you aren't the only one, but I was thinking symbolically and wasn't sure what I'd see. Of course I AM writing a literary analysis at the moment, which explains my far out-ness in this respect . . .

Sometimes after seeing how people help one another here and do things like PIF, or communicate openly, I think this might be a very special place. And maybe that makes it heavenly.

 

If one takes away the religious aspects of the term "angel", you would think it is just someone who respects, cares about and helps someone else without expecting something in return. So I think this is a place to find angels! :cloud9: :cloud9: :cloud9: :cloud9:

Holy Nib... :D hehe

 

In regards to the original topic, I would say if it seems to write fine and doesn't mess with your hands, leave it alone, better than being bent the opposite direction (no contact with the feed and what not).

That's a beautiful thought. FPN is definitely that.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
