Sailir Nibs Markings On Their Side

[JohnEbach]

I have two sailor pens, a Realo and a professional gear. When you look at the side of the nib it has a marking for H - M and H - F. I assume that the M and F would indicate Fine and Medium. What would the H mean?

 

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

 

thanks

"H" is for "hard", which seems to be the standard version. I haven't seen a Sailor nib labeled "S" for "soft" yet, nor can I remember anyone writing about them here.

Yep, H is for hard.

I have only seen one other letter and that's N for Naginata-Togi
