Nibs - Gold Seal Flexible + # 2 For We Doric 1. + 2. Generation

[penjog]

Hello,

I am looking for a Wahl - Eversharp "Gold Seal" - nib, "flexible", which writes thin F (possibly - BB), for a Doric Oversize, 2nd Gen (in the picture No. 6, Marocco).

I might also need an elastic nib # 2, writing thin for a Doric (junior) of the 1st generation (in the picture No. 1, Kashmir).

If something is unclear, I can supply the measurements and photos of the nibs and pens.

I'm still looking for a Gold Seal nib for the Doric Marocco.

I haven't received an offer here yet.

Do I have to look in another category?

This is the right place and that's a beautiful collection of pens.

Pelikan, Skyline, Parker - I do own these pens also ...and more of it. But I usually write with softer nibs of Eversharp, Mabi&Todd, Waterman.

 

It ist very difficult to get a Gold Seal. It's not difficult to get # 2 - so I have to be patient ...

I put a #4 Mabie Todd dip nib in a Doric ringtop and it’s a wonderful writer. It might actually be easier to find a dip nib than what you’re looking for. Syd Saperstein, of course, might have a drawerful of what you’re looking for, so I’d suggest you communicate with him.

Thank you for your post.

 

I asked Syd again, if he has such a nib on offer.

 

I would like to replace my somewhat rigid Gold Seal - replacement for the original defective Gold Seal - from a Danish Eversharp, which has flexible printing, but that is not.
I am not primarily interested in writing with the Doric, but in writing with the flexible Gold Seal nib in that Doric.

So a possible replacement by a completely different nib is not a solution for me.

 

But thank you for the hint. I don't know this.
I also own serveral Mabi&Todd pens and nibs - also a # 4 in Swan 4460 + 1041- and I know, that Gold Seal nibs are rarely traded and relatively expensive. So I have to be patient.

 

Greetings,

Actually, I might have a Doric with the nib you’re looking for. The pen (a Gold Seal in Morocco) has a bad case of the rot but the nib’s a #2 Flexible - I don’t see the words “gold seal” on it but it is a nice flexy nib...in a Fine.

You might be able to give it a good home.

Thanks!

A nib # 2 is rather smaller and can't be compaired with a Gold Seal (I suppose # 4). I own several # 2. So it's a pitty.

Oh, well.

Good hunting.
