Titanium Nib History

[ExpiredUser]

I wonder - were there more early titanium nib makers than Parker?

 

Based on the available materials the first pens that used titanium for their nibs were:

 

1970-1971 - Parker T1
early 1970s-? - Parker 75

1983-1988 - Parker 35

The titanium nibs next resurfaced with Omas in the late 1990s and Stipula T-Flex nibs on pens such as Model T in late 2000's, with Delta Titanic coming slightly later (?). 

This whole chronological order is highly speculative as only the Parker is well documented. Were there any makers/models I skipped? Please chip in.

ExpiredUser,

 

I will not be able to respond to your original question as my first Titanium nib was on a Stipula Model T. 

 

However, I added another Titanium nib to my collection just over a month ago at the 2024 DC Pen Supershow.  I purchased a Leonardo MZG with a Titanium #8 nib.  It behaves like the Stipula as it is a wet writer with some flexibility. Both are nice pens and nibs.  It seems that Titanium nibs are still in production (another data point for the timeline).

 

Regards,

Craig
