Hi all!

 


I've been lucky to find an OMAS nib recently.
However, the feed and collar is missing.

Do you have a spare feed that I may buy?

Does anyone know where one could source such parts?

The nib is one of the MILORD version (not the larger PARAGON).
Length of the nib is 55mm.


Many thanks

That's a collar only. No feed. But ask if he has a feed to go with it. :)

 

I did and they don't have it.

I'm planning to get the nib into a custom pen!

 

The pen maker can make such collar, so the main part I'm looking for is the feed :)

 

Thanks for sharing the link though. I'll keep on looking for a feed!

Would a different brand feed fit? I don't know the nib size, but if you do a different feed might work. Even if you had to buy a steel nib and feed together to get the feed, it might be worth doing. You might even get a nib, feed and collar that way.

Thanks for the sugestion!

The nib seems to be a no 5 nib and OMAS nibs are made by bock.

 

I meight have some luck fitting a no5 standard bock feed on there.

I had a custom pen made with an Omas paragon nib (that is close to what is generally referred to number 6, but there are also smaller ones). The maker used a standard bock collar and feed.

      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
