Well, it isn't dry but neither would I say it's wet in the way a medium or an xf is. I can't say more generally - perhaps others can jump in?
I thought Aurora was on the drier side, at least compared to most European makes. You know, most nibmeisters retail high end pens and can tune the nib any way you like it. Of course, you could send it in aftermarket too. How a nib is tuned from the factory is really a minor consideration these days.Thanks for your replies. I am currently researching via YouTubes wet broad nibs in Visconti, Pelikan and Aurora.

Are Pelikan Broad nibs generally juicy/wet particularly in the m800/805, m1000 line, I hear so? Thanks
The pen I've been using for over a year now is my 1958 Aurora 888P. It's a wet writer and can sit unused for moths and start up immediately. Aurora no longer makes the cartridges or converters for it but the Platinum cartridges, converters and adapter to use Standard International cartridges work. It's by far the longest continuous use fountain pen I own.Thanks for your replies. I am currently researching via YouTubes wet broad nibs in Visconti, Pelikan and Aurora.
You mean replace it with another italic nib, or just any pelikan m200 nib?I have an M200 with an italic nib. It’s not a very good italic and I’d like to replace the nib. Replacement nibs for that pen seem hard to come by.
Just a regular m200 nib. I have better italic pens now, but I have thought of grinding this one.You mean replace it with another italic nib, or just any pelikan m200 nib?

Thanks! Shipping costs more than the nib but still a pretty good price.Nemo just posted a link for well priced replaments in the "pelikan 120-want to change a nib" thread.
