Thank you very much.

Best regards.

I was finally able to capture one of my latest pens (bought used): Parker 75. Not as spectacular as many of the nibs shown here, but it's a really nice, smooth one, and has the advantage of showing some inks lighter.

A different view

 

 

Four dip nibs.

 

The Central Pierce of a dip nib is often decorative and can take the shape of something figural , or more of just an abstract shape.

Very nice! I imagine the cut-outs in the last nib (in the sequence) would greatly add to its flexibility?

[AAAndrew]

Side slits and especially side pierces like this definitely can impact flexibility, but they have a greater impact on the "softness" of a pen, which is more of a flexing in the center of the pen rather than the spread of the tines. All together it was what they used to call "action."

Hi,

 

last week a green marbled Mabie Todd Swan 1041 (late 1940s) arrived from the UK. :-)

The long #4 nib is just stunning! Very flexy, but no wet noodle, a medium to broad line.

My Parker Super 21's shellac must have eroded away, (my hands turned blue one rainy day!), so I was able to take its hood off and give 'er a good cleaning.

 

 

Now the hood is re - shellacked, and after adjusting 'er nib...

 

I must admit, she writes better than any of the 51s I have owned. (I sold 'em all.)

 

 

 

The next pen...

 

This Faber Castell Loom wrote well, until it decided to stop writing.

 

Ah well. At least its nib looks purdy.

I gave the Duofold nib a nice polish and sold it, a very nice needlepoint indeed.
