Who Recognizes This Nib?

[Johnnie-T]

I suspect it's a very standard one. It came on a pen that my wife kindly gave me last year.

The words on it are simply "Iridium Point Germany".

 

I'd like to try a flex nib on the pen. Is there one available?

[cattar]

These nibs can write well and are often used on pens made in China.

 

 

You might post photos of the entire pen: capped, uncapped, visible writing/marking.

 

If the pen is from a popular maker it could be identified.

OK, finally getting this up here.

My wife got it for me from someone at a craft fair; I think she chose the material and had it made.

The box says "PSI Woodwork". It certainly writes well, and I'd like to try a flex nib on it too.

 

Is this enough to make a positive or probable ID? What else would I need to know in order to get another nib for it?

It's a kit pen: the various pieces are sold and then assembled into the turned barrel. You could try a Jowo #6 in it, it may fit...

The engraving looks like a Jowo #5. Does the nib unit unscrew?

[Honeybadgers]

It's not a JoWo. It's a cheap no-name chinese nib that they often stamp "iridium point germany", shorthandedly known as "IPG" nibs.

 

It looks like a #5. A #5 bock or JoWo would likely fit. I have my doubts that one of the #5.5 indian flex nibs would fit, but you could always try. A vintage #2 gold flex nib likely will fit.

not Jowo, no.

This is Jowo

they can be nice nibs (if QC does not fail), mine is smooth and well aligned
