Platinum 3776 New And Old Nib

[sailorboy]

I tried to switch the nibs/feeds between 2 of my Platinum 3776s.

 

The older pen has the old nib which appears very slightly broader at the shoulders and feed which is slightly smaller.

 

The newer pen has the new nib - slightly narrower and slighter bigger feed.

 

The older nib fits into the new pen. On the other hand, the new nib due to the bigger feed does NOT fit into the old pen.

 

Anyone else tried?

This is a pic of the Nakaya old and new... BUT Platinum makes them so I think this shows what you are talking about.

Yes, thanks they do look like that - except that the difference in between the length of the 3776 nibs (old and new) is much smaller. I also noticed that the newer feeds/nibs write much wetter.

I had no idea about the difference, thanks for the picture, it was informative.

Earthdawn - Excellent work.! I appreciate the information and detailed Pics. The new Platinum feed looks like an improved and much more sophisicated design...
