If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

That doesn't actually explain whether the sections of the 845/743 can be interchanged with the 742/912

 

Huh? That link takes you to:

 

The sections of your 845 and 742 can be swapped. _...‹snip›...

@hari317 then went on to post a link (in that very same reply) to his evidence in support of his statement, which I found entirely convincing.

Point well taken, @Estycollector :)

 

Truth be told, possession is nine-tenths of the law, so I'd have to borrow from the better half :) she got a J at our last pen show.

 

It would also help if people stop collecting these beautiful well valued pens so there's more to go around :D

Who knows about other pens that can use the Estie MV adapter?

Anyone know if the Estie MV nib adapter would fit a metal pilot falcon ?

 

Thanks.

I do not have one but I'm inclined to say no based on Grip - Diameter differences

 

Some retailers report 10mm but others report 11.0 and 11.2 mm based on searching the internet

In my experience sections taper, so the published number would depend upon exactly where the 'grip' was measured. In this instance diameter at the base of the barrel is what matters, no?

Add lightness and simplicate.

      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..

      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
