Nib Lenght Omas Paragon New Style / Original Nib?

[kdv]

Ls,

 

Yesterday I received a replacement nib via eBay selling for my Omas Paragon new style.

I wanted this nib as a replacement because the original nib was bent (wave).

However:

• I think this is not a new style Paragon nib, but a Milord nib instead.
  As you can see on the picture below the original nib on the left is longer and a (just a little) bit broader. The length of the original nib is about 35 mm and the one send is 31.5 mm.
• the replacement nib also fits a bit more easily into the housing/section.

The replacement nib writes extreme well: super smooth, wet, etc. (therefore I just might keep it).

 

But my question:

 

Where different nib lengths used on the new style Paragon? Could this be an original nib, though shorter in length than mine? May be shorter nibs where used for the extra fine variants for more ink-flow (longer uncovered feed)?

 

Thanks, and nice days,

kdv

Hi kdv, you are right that one is the new Milord nib and the other new Paragon. See nibs.com for clarification. If I were you, I would send back the wrong nib, and send the original nib to a nibmeister to get fixed. It can most likely be repaired on a nib block.

hi como,

Thanks for your respons.

I was hoping it was an original one, because it writes just that fine.

The price a payed for the replacement is almost the same as a nibmeister asked for a repair. Even then the iridium would have to be removed.

So... I will send it back.

Thanks,

Kdv
