Nibs

Recommended Posts

This is an OK medium point, but I would like a fine point nib. This is off my latest pen.

A dirty, late-night nib shot :unsure:

What a pen, what a nib.

Here are some photos I made a while back. I had attached part of a darkroom "Grain Focusing Magnifier" to the my Canon Powershot camera. The optics on the focusing aid are not great, which shows in the overall poor quality of the images...nevertheless, it did produce some interesting macro shots.

Amazing idea to look through a Focusing Magnifier. I know how it works in the darkroom but can't imagine of connecting that to a camera. Well done.

Down and dirty, my Namiki Falcon <SF> loves it this way.

 

It never complains. It just gets on with the job in hand, every, single, time . . .

Some of my personal favorites from my collection. Most of the images aren't mine, but I've got the same pens at home.

 

Duofold: Love the scroll work.

Townsend: Love the sweeping lines and bi-colour blend.

Studio: It's simple in it's beauty.

Century: Just s#it disturbing ;)

 

I also love the look of my M600 and Pro Gear, but I've seen a lot of those already through out this thread.

I have been wondering for years what brand this pen is. I “believe” I got it from a LeClerc truck stop in France around 1995-97. I might have gotten it from W.H. Smith’s in the same period.

 

Sorry the back shot isn't properly focused, it's much harder than the front!

Any help with identification would be much appreciated. I'll have to set up a good camera rig later to photograph this one better, and capture the one I am pretty sure is from W.H. Smith as well.

I slightly ruined my Pelikan M200 Classic's nib. The Deccan Pen Stores person I went to in India, instead of repairing it or offering an equally pleasing one, replaced it with an India-based "AMBITIOUS" brand nib that sports this two-tone (gold and steel) surface (platinum-tipped) and kept my original Pelikan M200 nib with himself. You think I got a raw deal? I see the original replacement nib going for $40-$50.

 

Also, never had an experience with a two-tone Ambitious nib (F) like this one. How would someone who actually used it might rate it as compared to any midrange ones from Pelikan or Waterman?

      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
