Replacement Nib For Kit Pen?

[obsidianblak]

Hi all,

I am new to fountain pens, and my parents gifted me a hand turned kit pen for my birthday recently. I really love the pen itself, but the nib has had some hard starting and flow issues. I was just wondering what replacement nib options I had to choose from. I have included three pictures of the nib, let me know if you need more. The graph paper is 4 squares per inch in the background. The nib says "Iridium Point Germany" and takes short international standard cartridges. Thanks for all your help,

Look at the Jowo nibs at http://meisternibs.com they work in most kit pens.

A picture of the finished pen might be helpful. Some kits take a #5 nib and some take a #6.

Here are some pictures of the full pen. I couldn't figure out how to attach pictures in a reply, so they are linked below. Thanks for the help.

I am thinking that may be a number 6 nib.

Does this mean that any nib labeled #6 will fit?

Looks like it, judging by the nib size with respect to the pen body. Another determining factor would be the name of the pen kit. Also, in that third picture above you could measure across the nib where it meets the section. 6mm = #6 nib.

Well yes and no. If you pull the nib out of the housing and want to keep the same feed you should be ok with Bock or Jowo nibs. If you want a screw in unit with a new nib and feed I think Jowo will fit but not Bock. I am just going by what Edison pens saying most kit pens use Jowo nib units.
