Very interesting. The nib imprint and nib tip shape is different from the examples that I have. “SUPER SMOOTH POINT” ? Can you post a close up of top of nib and side profile? Thanks. Is the nib available from Gama?

I too got a Gama Supreme recently, but with a regular Gama nib. The large nib which you have suits the pen very well. Did you change it yourself or got it this way from Gama themselves?

Your Gama nib and this nib are the same size 35mm. This nib has not been set deep that’s why it looks bigger.

Thanks for the info. I thought it was the 40mm nib.

It is a 35mm nib that I bought separately from penhouse.in The nib was called Ambitious NO 35 Fine Regular - Folded.

The pen from ASA came with a Gama stock nib. I bought the Ambitious nib from penhouse.in

Both are 35mm. A subtle difference was that Ambitious nib sort of plateaued from side to side, whereas Gama was bit more curved.

Noticeable difference was that Ambitious writes better. :)

Thank you for sharing all the details along with the pictures. Glad to know that it writes better, though I must say that I am happy with my Gama nibs so far.

You have shared wonderful pics. Thank you so much. Yes the nib tip is folded. In the sense the tip is made of same material as body of nib and the tip is simply the body folded down. Such nibs are smooth to begin with but might wear out with heavy use. It’s a minor point. Enjoy your pen. Looks lovely.

That's very interesting! That explains the lack of Iridium Point marking on the nib. Soulmates might end up in a divorce :)  Hopefully,I will enjoy their company till then.

      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
