Very interesting. The nib imprint and nib tip shape is different from the examples that I have. “SUPER SMOOTH POINT” ? Can you post a close up of top of nib and side profile? Thanks. Is the nib available from Gama?

I too got a Gama Supreme recently, but with a regular Gama nib. The large nib which you have suits the pen very well. Did you change it yourself or got it this way from Gama themselves?

Your Gama nib and this nib are the same size 35mm. This nib has not been set deep that’s why it looks bigger.

Thanks for the info. I thought it was the 40mm nib.

It is a 35mm nib that I bought separately from penhouse.in The nib was called Ambitious NO 35 Fine Regular - Folded.

The pen from ASA came with a Gama stock nib. I bought the Ambitious nib from penhouse.in

Both are 35mm. A subtle difference was that Ambitious nib sort of plateaued from side to side, whereas Gama was bit more curved.

Noticeable difference was that Ambitious writes better.

Thank you for sharing all the details along with the pictures. Glad to know that it writes better, though I must say that I am happy with my Gama nibs so far.

You have shared wonderful pics. Thank you so much. Yes the nib tip is folded. In the sense the tip is made of same material as body of nib and the tip is simply the body folded down. Such nibs are smooth to begin with but might wear out with heavy use. It’s a minor point. Enjoy your pen. Looks lovely.

That's very interesting! That explains the lack of Iridium Point marking on the nib. Soulmates might end up in a divorce   Hopefully,I will enjoy their company till then.
