I need a nib for a P 41. There seem to be more 21s around than 41s. Are the nibs the same? Does anyone have one to spare?

 

Thanks

P-41???

 

Know of a P-51 and a P-45 and a P75. All Parkers.

Look for a super 21 octanium nib. The regular 21 non tubular nib will not fit.

In case you wish to write to me, pls use ONLY email by clicking here. I do not check PMs. Thank you.

And don't let us stop you from putting a gold 51 nib into the pen. But the Super 21 (or 51 Special) Octanium nib will work fine. I write with several of them and I endorse the experience.

So a 51 will fit? There are plenty of those, I would think. A little pricier, though, huh?

The octanium 51 Special nibs should be easier to find and less expensive.

Gee that happened when I wasn't looking....in '56 was still doing pencil...forth grade came in '58 and I'm sure I got some sort of lever pen when we started in 4th grade with fountain pens. Felt so grown up to have one in my hand in class. Can remember it....was a cloudy day, in the room was not well lighted.

Was no longer a child with a pencil, was a big kid with a fountain pen.

 

Remember what the teacher looked like but not her name.....one of the battle axes. Yes, Mam!

I'd been spoiled in Texas, having the same teacher in both 2nd and 3rd grades. Her name I can well remember.

 

It's still good that one can learn new things....well I don't chase Parker or US pens so I am behind the power curve.

21 Supers, 41s, and 51s all have the same tubular nib and both gold and Octanium are interchangeable

      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
