Could You Help Two Orphans?

TWSBI nib units, that is. I have an italic and a fine, just lying there pathetically, and no bodies to host them.

 

They are from the 540 series, I believe....so, what inexpensive and easily attainable not-metal pen bodies (besides Noodler's Ahab) will these fit?

 

Thanks for your suggestions!

My other pen is a Montblanc.

If they fit a Noodler's Ahab, you might try an Indian FP that takes a #6 nib. Check out Airmail (aka Wality) at Asapens.in or Fountainpenrevolution (fprevolutionusa.com) for the many possibles. Mind you, I do not have a Twsbi so cannot speak from experience... but the Wality nibs are eminently forgettable, while the bodies are really nice; it looks like a nice way of housing your orphans...

 

Good luck, and let us know what you come up with!

If they're from a 540 they won't fit a Noodler's Ahab, they'll be too small (540suse use a #5, Noodler's Ahabs a #6). I'll see what I can come up with in terms of pen options.

Thanks for the info. I'm pretty sure that these are 540s.

      Thanks for the info (I only used B&W film and learned to process that).   Boy -- the stuff I learn here!  Just continually astounded at the depth and breadth of knowledge in this community! Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      >Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color,<   I'm sure they were, and my answer assumes that. It just wasn't likely to have been Kodachrome.  It would have been the films I referred to as "other color films." (Kodachrome is not a generic term for color film. It is a specific film that produces transparencies, or slides, by a process not used for any other film. There are other color trans

      @Ceilidh -- Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color, not just B&W like I learned to process.  Whether they were doing the processing of the film themselves in one of the darkrooms, or sending their stuff out to be processed commercially?  That I don't actually know, but had always assumed that they were processing their own film.

      Kodachrome 25 was the most accurate film for clinical photography and was used by dermatologists everywhere. I got magnificent results with a Nikon F2 and a MicroNikkor 60 mm lens, using a manually calibrated small flash on a bracket. I wish there were a filter called "Kodachrome 25 color balance" on my iPhone camera.
