Show Off Your Writing With A Binder Stub Or Ci ?

[Lou Erickson]

Now I'm considering the same. I have a Pelikan M200 which will take one of his nibs. Cursive Italic or stub? What size? I can't decide, and can't afford all four...

Apparently they'll also fit my vintage 140. Even more tempting, although the nib on that one is pretty swell as it is. It's green. Do I need a blue one? (Edit: Not from Richard, I don't. Sold out. Foo.)

The news about Richard shutting down his retail business spooked me into getting some Pelikan nibs, including a 0.6 stub, a factory XF, and one of his Waverly XXF accountant nibs! So I only almost copied your order, benincanada

I helped him pack from an Atlanta show.

 

I was having to wipe the drool off of the Pel ground nib case. So Many goodies.

Thanks to everyone for your input, I went with a 0.6mm stub from Richard Binder - sample below. I also got an Extra Fine M200 nib.

Sorry for the poor image quality, but here's the XXF:

It's only just a tiny bit more fine than the factory F, unfortunately, but it's still a pleasure to use. It's possible that I lucked out and got a very fine F? I did that comparison quite quickly last night so I'll do another tomorrow or when I get home from work tonight.

 

I LOOOVE the 0.6 stub, though! (don't judge the fact that it doesn't match this pen, please... I originally wanted it on my M205 but have been goofin around). 0.6 is small enough for me to use for scrap work but still wide enough that I get some nice line variation.

I realize that this is too late for the OP's purpose, and that my pens have nibs much wider than he was interested in, but this seemed like a good place to add a couple of more samples of Richard Binder's work. I took the two pens shown below to the DC SuperShow in August this year and had Richard grind the BB nib of the Pelikan to a cursive italic, and refine the stub nib of the black pen to give it much more line variation than it previously had. He did an outstanding job on both.
