I have a small pen in a custom-fitted box that says Padrino. I bought it off the bay, but have tracked it down to being a now-discontinued Paradise Pens product. It has what I assume is a medium nib, and while the nice ladies at the Paradise Pen store did not know this, a little experimentation following a review for an entirely different pen on Mr. Brown's channel has revealed that the nib is in a little unit that screws out. My very cheap electronic calipers tell me that the body of this nib unit is 24.1 millimeters long, exclusive of what I think is the rear end of the feed, tiny, which sticks out a smidge more. Measuring tip of nib to bottom of smidge I am getting 42.8 mm The plastic part of the unit is about 6.8 mm in diameter. There is a five on the back of the feed, and if I try to measure the feed I am getting about 5mm. Can anyone tell me what kind of nib unit this is or seems compatible with? It looks to me like the ones on the Meisternib site, which I think are JoWo, but I do not actually know. If I had to guess I'd guess it was one of these in a size five, but since the nib, wherever I get it, seems like it is going to cost me six or seven times as much as the pen did, I'd rather not be sitting on a nice but useless-to-me-one. Anyone have a guess? I hope to be at the LI Pen show and can look there, but if I know where to start that would help tons. A picture is problematic due to issues I've been having with my camera, my computer, etc, or I'd post one. Thanks for any help. T
