omarcenaro Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 I was messing around with my pens today. I have a green, blue ,gray and could not remember what nib sizes I had. When I looked I found I have 2 pens that the nib is bicolor and one that is unicolor. Did the Phileas have an option for a unicolor nib? Odd right. Here is a pic I took now. I got these 20+ years ago and never noticed until now. None of us knows how long he shall live or when his time will come. But soon all that will be left of our brief lives is the pride our children feel when they speak our names.http://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/332130-custom-pen-tray-display/ Link to post Share on other sites
omarcenaro Posted January 27 Author Share Posted January 27 Here is a close up of my 2 medium nibs. From what I can tell they only used this pattern nib on Phileas pens. I bought 2 of them directly but one of the pens was a gift that same year back in the 90’s. Did they use this nib style on other Waterman pens? and this nib was a swap? or an earlier or latter version? Any one else have a mono-color nib on their Phileas or is mine the unicorn. None of us knows how long he shall live or when his time will come.

I don’t see the Phileas “fan” nib on the Harley Davidson fountain. Looks like their nibs have Harley logo. If it’s on the pen it’s probably a nib swap and not standard. Thank you for trying.

omarcenaro Posted January 28 Author Share Posted January 28 But in looking for the Harley images I found this gold nib Kultur on the Network. So I looked up Kultur and These image shows an old style Kultur with the gold nib. C9666BEA-4287-49F5-943C-F4BA74FFD624.webp None of us knows how long he shall live or when his time will come.

omarcenaro Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 The gold nib comes from the Kultur, mystery solved. None of us knows how long he shall live or when his time will come.

The color in my post was just to differentiate from the usual two tone nib that the Phileas comes in. None of us knows how long he shall live or when his time will come.
