Can anyone tell the nib size from this HQ image of a LeGrand Montblanc?

In the recent times of King's Charles III ascension to the throne I have noticed the fountain pen nib he uses is very dominating - it looks really great on paper. However, I am not sure if this is just Montblanc conforming slightly differently to the other more 'standard' brands of Fountain Pen. For example, a M nib or OM feels more like a Broad etc. Are we able to tell from this image of the pen the nib? I think I can see a slightly different nib end here suggesting perhaps Oblique but wanted to see what you guys think? To me, the sidestrokes seem thinner than the downstrokes, no? I can confirm an OB is far too thick so I'm not sure if it's just a Medium or Oblique Medium?

Honestly, I think it looks dynamic in part because it looks like he writes with a heavy hand, and I suspect more tine spread than is typical for lighter hands.

Hi @arcfide, thanks for your response. I'm sorry what do you mean by dynamic?

I suspect it's a BB. I don't think it's an oblique as he looks to be holding the pen nearly vertical and it's still writing a broad line.

 

The writing samples look to have some stub character. Montblanc B nibs tend to be a bit stubby, and BBs more so.

There's a range of line variation, weight, shade, and stroke speed, which helps to make it pop, because it is not uniform.

Camilla's downward pressure caused the tines to visably spread.  I'll be sure to keep her away from my pens.

The picture is not clear enough on my phone to make out the shape of the tipping. I would guess just a plain B. That is exotic for the non-enthusiast crowd.

From the picture, it looks to me like the nib is splayed a little under the pressure of the writing, so I would also think a B nib might be correct.

That nib looks Oblique to me now it’s zoomed?
