Is that a Blue Marbled?  I was just using mine yesterday (but mine has a medium nib).

Why yes, it is!  The first non-gold nib I ever loved, and in a very attractive package.

 

Very nice, @jandrew!

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

Love this one!

"It's very nice, but frankly, when I signed that list for a P-51, what I had in mind was a fountain pen."

Ah, so a number can count as separate if it works. I was struggling with Pilot Custom 74.

A Pilot (size) number 5 nib does not have the same meaning as a JoWo (size) number 5 nib; and a Pilot (size) number 10 nib does not have the same meaning as a Opus 88 (size) number 10 nib. (An Opus 88 number 10 nib, as you know, is a rebranded JoWo number 5 nib.) Chinese fountain pen brands often, but not always, use the length of the nib in millimetres as the size number, so it's not uncommon to see their marketing images and product specifications mention 26号 (i.e. number 26), 32号, and 35号 nibs. (Chinese 32号 and 35号 tend to fit around feeds of approximately 6mm diameter, so they are both nominally equivalent to JoWo “#6” nibs; but 32号 nibs tend to have a cutout on the bottom edge to accommodate a raised triangular nub, designed to control positioning, on the feeds on which they are factory-fitted.)

 

Obligatory haiku:

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

This one sounds like a traditional haiku!

I'm afraid Occam's razor won't help. However, lost items are usually found in the last place you look --- so just look there first ;)
