Goulet Pen Nibs In Parkers?


InterInk

Recommended Posts

Hello, I have a question. I have a Parker Frontier and I'd like to swap a nib. Recently I saw an interesting ad, goulet pen co. has made their own nibs(#6 nib). The question is does GP nibs fit into Parker frontier?

Why bother?

 

For about $25 or less you can get a nib master to mold your Frontier nib just the way you want it.

 

To pull a Frontier nib, you'll need a good repair person, someone who knows both the Frontier, its feed, and the Goulet nib. What's the advantage? You will pay the same, and I don't know that Goulet makes a better nib than Parker.

i just did a quick check, the feed has a diameter of 6.3mm, the Goulet Nib is a #6 Jowo nib so the size is 6mm. Noodler's Nibs are 6.3mm so that may work, however, the length of the nib is too long for the pen. In short cannot be done. Just for the sake of asking, what sort of nib you have and what you want it to be?

Frontier nibs unscrew and then pull out from the section, like Sonnet nibs. The nib is attached to the feed like a Sonnet nib is, clipping on to the feed.

 

Why bother? There is a penpartsstore ebay seller offering Frontier nibs starting about $10 with the section. I bought a "gothic" italic and a fine. Both perfect. Because of some other bidder, I ended up paying about $12 each plus shipping. For the nib plus section, a screw-in solution, seems like a decent deal.

      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
