The Nib Acquisitions 2019

[Frozenshades]

I got one of these for Christmas. My first stub nib. I'm really enjoying it. I know this is about as narrow as you can go for a stub, but I do think it adds just a touch of flair to my writing that I was missing before. I think I need to pick up a few more stubs...

Nice addition! I have a metro in that same color but with a M nib. Haven’t tried a Pilot stub.

Excellent! Enjoy! You can actually get narrower stub nibs, but you would need to have them ground by a nibmeister. Also, the narrower you go, the less line variation you will see, so you do reach a point of diminishing returns. I have a medium #6 Jowo nib with a cursive italic grind from fpnibs.com that is just outstanding. In fact, I'm using it in a Conklin Duragraph for my Christmas thank you cards right now.

Figured out precisely what 2 of the pens were.
Early 60's Parker 45 GT XF nib, Midnight Blue body. New old stock. Pictured. Currently loaded with Colorverse Quasar ink in the included squeeze bulb converter.

1950's Waterman's C/F medium nib (anyone know where I can find a C/F converter or empty cartridge?)
