Hi,

 

Howcome the C\C have German nibs and the eyedroppers do not (Except bock)? Is it due to the feeds required for each fill mechanism?

 

Do you know if the Bock is a #6 or anything? Ideally I would want to swap it for a stub at some point I think.

 

Cheers!

Hi...

Pens with Schmidt/JoWo nibs are actually nib units... which is screw in nib units along with feed... and these pen can be used as eyedropper also...

 

However only Ed pens have friction fit nibs along with feed...even for bock (imprinted conklin) ... since this bock nib is a standalone nib it can be fitted with only ebonite feed and thus can be used as ED only...

 

And yes that bock nib is #6....you can swab the nib later

Thanks for the prompt answer.

 

Sorry to be a pest, but I'm quite new to fountain pens, but this seems like a great opportunity to snag a wonderful, less common pen!

 

Does that mean if I was to get the eyedropper version with dual tone nib, I could just get another #6 nib (1.1stub, semi-flex) from somewhere like fountainpenrevolution and just heat-set it onto the ebonite feed? Or would you advise me to get the nib unit so I can just buy the entire units?

 

Also I've seen a beautiful shot of here http://www.peytonstreet.com/pens/ranga/zay_black_bakul_1.jpg - Is the dark black Bakul an option? (The '4. Black Matte / Black Bakul' option looks like a gray, not a dark black)

 

Thanks for your responses, and thanks for this great opportunity.

You can do both like buying Ed version and later buying loose spare #6 nib from anywhere and heat set them..... However if I was to recommend you ... I would recommend you to buy C/C pen which comes with Screw in nib unit... its less messy which eyedroppers can be.... and yes you can easily buy screw in nib units of same brand.... Like if you take JoWo 1.1 nib, you will have to buy pen with JoWo nib unit since as far as I know that Schmidt doesnt have option of Stub nib....

Yes its same bakul black which is option 4... its better photography at Peyton (they are very good at it)

 

Thanks for your responses, and thanks for this great opportunity.

Thanks again for clearing it up - When there's so many options, it's hard to choose the right one.

 

Last question, I promise! If I get the 'Dual tone Medium nib', is this the same size/feed as a #6 nib?

 

I would like a matte black/bakul eyedropper version please:

  • Filling mechanism - Eyedropper
  • Ebonite - Regular, matte black
  • Option - Flat end
  • Finish - Bakul
  • Nib - Dual tone Medium nib

Thanks a lot.

Mehandiratta; As mentioned in my first post, we will be leaving for Hawaii in just a couple of days. Because of that, we won't be able to pay before we return at the beginning of March. Once we get home, though, we'll PayPal you with the payment. Where we're staying on the Big Island, internet connections are "iffy". We may or may not have access, hence waiting until our return to pay for the pen on the 11th of March (well before your deadline of the 18th). I hope this will not be an inconvenience. PM me by Monday if it is--but if payment can't wait 'til our return, we'll have to cancel my order.

 

Thanks :-).

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
