Hero 3015 - Fountain Pen Nib

[THRobinson]

So... poking about on eBay, looking for something with a flex nib to try since the Noodler's Konrad seem to be out of stock everywhere.

 

Came across a very cheap HERO brand pen with a flex nib.

 

Problem... can't seem to find info if the nib is replaceable? and if so, is it a #6? If so, maybe try it, maybe grab a Noodler's flex nib and try with that? and still an option for a normal nib like a Goulet #6 Medium, or if the pen flat out blows, no big loss.

 

Can't find the info online, and the eBay sellers are from China so, the responses rarely ever make sense due to the language barrier.

 

Pen I was looking at was this one. Says 3015 on the pen, but, when I google HERO 3015... various models show up.

 

Anyone know about the nib?

Why not take a look at FountainPenRevolution.com? Reasonable prices, reasonable delivery times, not very much money spent. And, the flex nibs are as OK as any Konrad would be.

 

Enjoy,

Hmmm. I think that looks suspiciously like a fude nib with the bent tip. If that's the case it doesn't flex so much as change line width with angle of attack.

Yes, the shadow at the tip of the nib implies that.
