Ive had enjoyable writing with Lamy 1.5 in Safari, and Leonardo Momento Zero with steel 1.5 nibs, which have given line variation close to Cursive Italic for me (YMMV). Ive had one Leonardo modified to a 1.2 which has been excellent as well.

Franklin-Christoph has both stub and italic nibs, plus a SIG nib or Stub Italic Gradient. I have their #31 Omnis with a broad italic nib.

 

I meant to direct this to cougarking

My new (to me) fresh from the bay Parker “51” stub (Pls note the nib IS fully seated it’s just that this hood/shell seems to be a little shorter than most)

Just give me the Parker 51s and nobody needs to get hurt.

WINTERS and Robbins , St. Paul, MINN,

Fitted with a nice JUICY Warranted MUSIC nib

 

WOW!!! It is rare to find a Winters & Robbins pen in any condition, with any nib, but a MUSIC NIB?!!!

 

I love stub and italic nibs, but do not contribute photos often. So here are three currently inked pens

 

Very nice trio, thanks for showing us!

 

Another TWSBI to share, this time with a TWSBI stub nib

 

 

 

Your writing is so easy on the eyes. Also, I have found that the TWSBI stubs tend to flow on the dry side and it appears yours is similar. What is your experience with them?

 

I was lucky to get this Esterbrook 2314-M nib on a different LJ. I really like how it writes.

 

 

I have quite a few Estie nibs - they are generally trouble-free and nice writers, though occasionally I find one that writes very dry or has a sharp edge. Nice to see an Esterbrook in use. :thumbup:

Hi dcpritch

Now that you asked that, I’m thinking you are right about the Eco 1.1mm stub. The Diamond 580 1.1mm stub is different, maybe writes wetter. I’m not well versed on wet and dry inks, but of course they play a part too.

Newest pen, the TWSBI Eco filled with a sample of Franklin-Christoph Spanish blue.

Twsbi ecos are the best gateway to stubs! :)

Just give me the Parker 51s and nobody needs to get hurt.

This is accidental stub, as I am not really into stub nibs. I bought this ASC Gladiatore Medio as a broad nib but its really a stub.post-117416-0-16000900-1574095335_thumb.jpeg

Thank you or explaining the SIG nib designation. Always wondered what it meant but too lazy to ask or google it.

 

I've owned at least three F&C pens in the past & all ordered with such a nib. Eventually on my last F&C, I swapped its SIG nib to a 18c JoWo factory stub (from Classic FP, no affiliation) that was then stubbed to a nice 0.7mm.

What a gorgeous pen & nib.

Is this (I presume Italian) pen made of celluloid? ASC?

Yes it’s called Arco Brown celluloid. It looks great from front and back, from the side it looks a bit dull.

You are welcome. I have tried a friends SIG nib, well nibs. She has quite a few F-C pens. If I had unlimited pen funds, I would get a SIG nib and F-C would bring back the Cocoa cream color.

This is a Delike Alpha with a separate italic nib sourced from an eBay seller. A fellow contributor on FPN, Randal6393, taught me how to grind the nib more crisply. The nib imprint appears similar to the one in Ememels Italix Freshmans Notator post.

 

Lovely handwriting and a seemingly beautiful and excellent paper!

Which paper is that?

      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
