Very pretty!  I'd love to see it in action too.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

~ A small group of 10th grade students saw an OBBB nib in action last Friday.

 

On Fritz Schimpf Feinpost paper, the Sepia ink from L’Artisan Pastellier Callifolio inks was sharply clear with excellent shading.

 

The students expressed surprise that such attractive lines were possible in contemporary handwriting.

 

A teaching moment, which made possible a brief explanation of advantages of broader nibs.

 

This is posted here in appreciation of @zaddick, who has such a superb collection of broader nibs.

Great job!  Have you considered gifting some of those $2 Jinhao pens with italic nibs?

Italic or stub? It is a USA made 14k Parker 75 nib.

Never tiring of seeing your remarkable 149 nibs, Tom, and your handwriting samples with so many inks. Thank you, maestro. Enjoy your weekend.

Who made the pens? Are they all piston fillers?

 

 

Is it fair for an intelligent and family oriented mammal to be separated from his/her family and spend his/her life starved in a concrete jail?

Tom,

Couldn't help noticing the daylight between the tines. I assume it is geared for super juicy flow rate.

( You have inspired me to get my camera out of the closet for macro shots. I phone is not cutting it)

I totally agree, the handwriting could not be more beautiful, and to my surprise I love the orange ink. Love wet flowing italic nibs. Thanks for posting Roshpens! 😀
