However I seem to find (stiff) 18C nibs on those. Now it is about time to add a flex 14C one in the future ;-)

 

Cheers

What a wonderful nib! I have tried to find one that fine, but so far no joy. I'm jealous. Use it with a big smile Michael, it's "a fine one" indeed.

Thank you for posting these superb images.

Congratulations on this terrific 149.

Writing with such a well-crafted nib must surely be a joy.

May 2020 be another year of outstanding fountain pen and ink acquisitions for you!

Congratulations Michael. There are some flex 18C pens out there too, just not as many as we may hope.

What a nice pen! That nib is reminiscent of a needlepoint. Very fine.Thanks for sharing the pictures

Well done Michael!

Good morning Michael,

 

Congratulations! What a beauty. Yours is from a great era for the resin 149s. Despite its stiff nib, the line appears perfectly consistent from the photos. I hope the nib will grow on you. The more flexible 3-tone 14C nibs appear fairly often for sale. Good luck acquiring one. Thank you for the photos; they are stunning.

 

Happy early New Year.

Barry
