FP Nibs

[BobBurt]

I've only turned one FP and was thinking about putting maybe six in my inventory.

Just wondering what the quality of the Nibs, that comes with a normal Gold pen kit. How do the nibs come ??? Fine/Med/Bold????

Any info will help.

Thank you very much

Sorry, Bob, that's a bit broad:biggrin::biggrin:

IF it says, Iridium - Germany, it is a steel nib. IMO not a bad nib, but a bad reputation. Pen collectors will snub the pen, if you are trying to sell it. Easy solution, upgrade to a nib from DCBluesman - also a steel nib, but a better quality - much more consistent performance. AND, its a CUSTOM nib, so it has SALES APPEAL!!

FWIW

I am referring to these El Grande FP

That will be a medium steel nib that comes in the kit. Lou stocks this size (the larger of the two he carries) in medium and fine.
