Threaded, Interchangeable Nibs?

[londonbooks]

I'm curious to know what manufacturers and models of pens have " threaded " nib & feed sections. I'm thinking about buying some pens with that feature. Thanks

sheaffer fine lines also had them.

 

esterbrooks are probably the best ones to check out first though. they are cheap workhorses and there are tons of nibs to try out with them

[Algester]

Faber castell, pilot execept elabo/falcon, 78g, cocoon/metropolitan, penmanship, prera and plumix in which the nib and feed are friction fit, montblanc if you can remove them in the first place

Osmiroid pen and nib sets, if you can find them. As far as I know they aren't manufactured anymore. Many Osmiroid nibs also fit Esterbrook pens.

Pelikan!

Wow - I didn't know there are so many. Thanks.

I've had very good luck swapping Pelikan nibs. No brainer. TWSBI is also pretty easy. Had good luck changing over one pen to a broad nib, had to fuss with the feed on another one before the ink would flow properly. The feed and nib just pull straight out of the nib/feed/collar assembly.

Levenger's True Writer line of pens has a threaded nib unit. The nib itself is friction fit into the unit, but when buying replacements you buy the whole unit.

 

Lamy aren't threaded on the Safari/Al Star/Vista line but are easily interchangeable. Noodler's Konrad is friction fit.

Good topic. I just got a set of 6 Osmiroid 65 nibs (along with their pen which needs restoring). The nibs work quite well in Esterbrooks. I'm very pleased. I plan to fix up the Osmiroid pen body and pick up a few Esterbrook bodies.

 

The combo was suggested to me in another thread when I was looking for a good pen to test drive inks. A pen that I could clean out thoroughly and easily so I could switch colors. That thread is here.

 

I also have a Reform Calligraph with interchangeable nibs. It's smooth and fun. I can't remember when I bought it but the nibs say "West Germany"!

Hi,

 

Parker 75 is similar to the Parker 45.

 

There are several versions, so one needs to match the nib+feed to the collector+section.

 

Bye,

The German JoWo nibs-sets for Edison, Franklin Christoph, Bexley?, TWSBI?............ are of the screw in kind. These stainless nib units are quite reasonably priced & easy to instal or remove.

I use a couple of untipped stainless calligraphy nibs & a customized 18K 1.1 stub.

Some Monteverde models.

You can easily exchange the threaded nib units in the Faber Castell Basic and Loom. I own both models. I think that you can add the E-motion and Ambition to the list (with the same nib unit) but can´t assure that because I do not own them. These are very smooth steel nibs. Regards.
