Can someone verify if Cross 14K nibs are in fact made by Pelikan? Thanks.

Well Pelikan nibs are made by Bock. And Bock pretty much makes everyone's nibs except a few companies so it's probably true that Cross nibs are made by Bock

I read somewhere that the Cross Solo nibs were made by a well known Japanese company. It seems like I've read somewhere else that said Japanese company was Namiki/Pilot, so maybe Pilot makes all Cross nibs.

David,

 

I saw that someone had mentioned that on a Pentrace ad. They were selling Cross pens, that had nibs made by Pelikan. Apparently they were telling the truth!

They might be older nibs as my understanding is that Pelikan stopped making their own nibs and had Bock made (there was also a change in quality at the turnover that people were mentioning). I can't imagine Pelikan not making their own nibs but making nibs for other people!
