I was thinking about what would the perfect pen look like. I decided (at least for today) that the pen would have a piston fill and would take a #6 friction fit nib. This would allow me to trade nibs around and would have the finese of a piston fill. Question: what pens come to mind that take a #6 nib and has a piston fill? Thanks Russ

Right now, the cheapest #6 stub nib is nemosine's is which is around 10 bucks.. So I wonder, does anyone else know a cheaper one? I just want to try out a stub nib.. Thanks.

Hello, I have a Conid Bulkfiller (regular size) with an EF titanium nib, but I am keen on playing around with it a bit now and trying something different in this pen. I know that it takes a #6 but am unsure which nibs from other manufacturers would readily fit in there. I'm interested in anything really, vintage or contemporary, but if I go a modern nib I'd like something a bit fancy if any nibs from the higher end manufacturers would fit. Thing is though I don't really know where to start looking.. there are plenty of loose nibs out there, but I've no idea which nibs from what pens would suit my Bulkfiller. Do you have any recommendations for my pen? Would the nib from a Montblanc 146 fit? I'm definitely happy to spend a bit of money on the right nib!

Yesterday I received a new nib for my rose gold Monteverde Invincia, a black 1.1 Monteverde stub. Unfortunately neither of these nibs fit into my Monteverde. After doing some research I discovered that the current models of Monteverde pens are not the same as the models which were available when I purchased my Invincia several years ago. With a little more research I discovered that my current nib has the same dimensions as a #5 nib. This was upsetting for a number of reasons, not the least of which was that I could not use my newly purchased nib in this pen. I have contacted the seller who is willing to take back the nib, but this leaves me with a problem. I very much want to put a stub or italic nib onto this pen. I have looked everywhere I can think of for a #5 nib that comes as a nib only (not attached to a feed section). The only places that seem to have loose #5 nibs are xfountainpens, Mazurka Pens, and Fountain Pen Revolution. Mazurka Pens does not have any stubs or italics. xfountainpens only has oblique broad and oblique broad X2. I have heard good things about Fountain Pen Revolution and have no issues with their prices, but I really don't want to wait for 2+ weeks to receive a new nib. Is there anyone out there who knows of a seller with #5 italic or stub nibs located here in the USA? Any assistance would be appreciated.
