Received my Parker 45 Broad and Accountant nibs today!!

 

Will try the accountant nib but I imagine it to be almost unusable? My 'X' extra fine I find very scratchy and not to my liking and the 'A' is even finer and looks like no tipping!!

Love my Parker 45 stub...will be interested to see how the broad handles

Hi! Before, I did not understand those who like vintage nibs with patina and I cleaned these nibs every time, but now I “fall in love” to it myself.

very odd - I now find myself with 2 Esterbrook Flex nibs # 9128

The 1st was my mothers and has lots of tipping material  - works ok but does on occasion railroad and go dry (actually sent to a nib person to fix it had obviously taken an nose dive and both tines were bent over)

the 2nd I just found in a box of my Grandmothers stuff - very little tipping material but flexes a charm and keeps up no problem! (had only 1 tine bent [looked like crossed fingers!] which I somehow got back into shape on my first attempt to bend it back on my own!)

1st one is actually curved down over the feed a bit where 2nd is straight (will try to add photos later)

maybe just differences in manufacture over the years??

Early days but I find myself liking the one with less tipping material more so far
