Edelstein Topaz from 1990/91 M800 ‘F’ vs 4001 Blue-Black from 1954 Pelikan 400 ‘F’

I took this photo to show the contrast in the widths of the lines that are laid-down by my 1954 Pelikan 400’s ‘F’ nib and my 1990/91 M800’s ‘M’ nib.

The paper is 90gsm Oxford ‘Optik’ (not the more-recent ‘Optik+’), on a sheet taken from an Oxford ‘Campus’ ‘Reporters’ Pad’.

The separation of the ruled lines is 8mm.
