Visconti 1.3 stub nib - experiences & comparisons to other brands - more current production 18k

[tde44x]

I have a Homo Sapiens Bronze Age with a broad nib that I love. Am now being tempted by a Magma and was considering the 1.3 stub nib - this would be recent production.

 

What I am interested in are actual experiences (again more recent production) with the nib. How was it out of the box? How well does it write? Are the edges sharper and more prone to catch than other similar stub nibs? Any comparison to their broad nib would be appreciated as well.

 

FYI - I own a number of stub nibs including many 1.1's and a 1.5. But these are steel nibs (Jowo & Bock).

 

Many thanks in advance for your insight!

FWIW, I've had a few and they've all been great writers.

 

Stubs don't have sharp corners like some italic nibs.

 

Overall, I really enjoy Visconti gold nibs.

 

Visconti's are some of my favorite pens and I've used most of the known brands.

 

That's my experience.....of course YMMV.....
