Who Recognizes This Nib?

Recommended Posts

I suspect it's a very standard one. It came on a pen that my wife kindly gave me last year.

The words on it are simply "Iridium Point Germany".Special Nib 1.jpgSpecial Nib 2.jpg

 

I'd like to try a flex nib on the pen. Is there one available?

These nibs can write well and are often used on pens made in China.

 

 

You might post photos of the entire pen: capped, uncapped, visible writing/marking.

 

If the pen is from a popular maker it could be identified.

OK, finally getting this up here.

My wife got it for me from someone at a craft fair; I think she chose the material and had it made.

The box says "PSI Woodwork". It certainly writes well, and I'd like to try a flex nib on it too.

 

Is this enough to make a positive or probable ID? What else would I need to know in order to get another nib for it?

It's a kit pen: the various pieces are sold and then assembled into the turned barrel. You could try a Jowo #6 in it, it may fit...

Vintage. Cursive italic. Iron gall.

It's not a JoWo. It's a cheap no-name chinese nib that they often stamp "iridium point germany", shorthandedly known as "IPG" nibs.

 

It looks like a #5. A #5 bock or JoWo would likely fit. I have my doubts that one of the #5.5 indian flex nibs would fit, but you could always try. A vintage #2 gold flex nib likely will fit.

Selling a boatload of restored, fairly rare, vintage Japanese gold nib pens, click here to see (more added as I finish restoring them)

      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
