Wahl Eversharp Ring Top. What Would Be Correct Nib For This Model?

[Whoneedsasword]

I've seen a previous thread about Signature pens with photos of the Signature models, which don't include this one so I'm wondering which model this might be and which would be the original nib? I ask this because it has a Sheaffer nib at the moment, which clearly isn't original.

 

Around the cap top it simply reads Wahl Eversharp Made in Chicago USA. The black hard rubber has a Greek key pattern chased into barrel and cap and it measures a tiny 33/4".

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

Most of the ringtops accepted a #2 nib...occasionally a #3, but I think your pen would take the former. They also made a smaller pen that was fitted with a #0 nib - I have a couple of these and you can write with them but you want small hands.

So would this be a Signature nib?

I have one that looks almost identical (one of the cap bands is thinner than the other, while yours are the same). Same inscription on the cap but no chasing on the black parts. Size is 4 5/16" capped, and I'm unsure if the XF nib is #1 or 0. It is flexy and writes fairly well. Wonder if it is the same model in a larger variant?

The Signature nib is the same size as other #2 nibs, I believe. "Signature" is what W-E called its semi-flexible nibs.

I can't believe they made a pen smaller than this one.....smaller than 3.75" must look tiny!!

When I wear it, people ask me if it’s a whistle.
