You are most welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it. This is an *extremely* flexible nib that flexes with almost no pressure, and it gets quite wide easily and safely.
That nib is so responsive ! And it sounds smooth. Must be great to write with. What do the numbers signify on the nibs? I've noticed them on the antique dip pens, and earlier vintage fountain pens. Thank you in advance.
They indicate the size which is relative to the other sizes of the nibs made by the same company - they're not standardized across companies. This nib is phenomenal. So is this pen overall. Even though it's enormous it's really quite comfortable and wonderful.
@@SpringNotes there is absolutely no correlation between the numbers on vintage fountain pen nibs and how flexible or springy they are. The numbers imprinted on vintage fountain pen nibs are sizes, and those sizes are not standardized - they are all relative to the sizes made by that manufacturer at the time the nib was made. I have no idea why so many people think that vintage flexible fountain pen nibs were made in standardized sizes, or with standardized amounts of flex that are always predictable, or that particular pen models had nibs with more or less flex than other pens. That just isn't how it was done at all. Each company offered different kinds of nibs for different pens, and each of those nibs was hand finished by what would now be called a nibmeister, a tongue in cheek term that has taken on an actual meaning at this point.
Nice pen, but your handwriting is amazing!
You so very much get it, my dear fellow! It is all of this subtle and real connection...
That means the world to me! Thank you so much! 😀
Omg thanks for sharing! I wish i had this pen! ❤🎉

@@singlesidemanSo, it doesn't signify, the level of flex, or bounce back ?
I suppose it could, depending on the company.

Thank you for clarifying ! It refers to the size of the nib, and NOT the level of flex.
@@SpringNotes correct.
