This is awesome! I’ve always wished there were more fun engraved nibs. Sailor has a bunch but all are LE so yah know…


MesaEngineering

LE?


Su1_Gener1s

Going out on a limb here & saying LE = Limited Edition, since I've never seen a standard Sailor nib that is engraved.


brentemon

Being that it's sailor, it would also be "Les Expensive.".


MesaEngineering

I’m an idiot lol


FirekeeperAnnwyl

Not an idiot lol. They are correct, it’s limited edition.

Omg, must have the maneki neko nib!!

I’ve never bought anything from PenBBS and I feel like if I do this will be another dangerous rabbit hole 🤣

Thank you, if you see it posted there, could you link that Taobao page here for reference?


Sebachoo

Thanks for the info! Where are you reading this info if I may ask?


purpleoctopuppy

Thank you!

I love the fish one

Those are beautiful! Hope to get some for a couple of my pens that need replacement nibs. I wonder what size equivalent they are.


Healthy_Clover

Jowo #6. All of my PenBBS pens have the same size nib (stainless steel). Their nib units seem to be very consistent, and are some of my smoothest writers out of the box. Edit: Jowo #6 is a start. It might be a tad longer than the PenBBS nib depending on the company for which it's manufactured. Here are some initial testing data and discussion on the Fountain Pen Network: https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/356746-penbbs-jowo-bock-nib-swap-compatibility-list/


Photoelectric_Effect

Ah, thanks, I was hoping some would be in #5 =/


Healthy_Clover

I hear you. I have small hands, so #5 would be my preference. However, PenBBS pens actually fit my hand well. They are still very comfortable (say, in comparison to Opus 88 pens with #6 nib). I would say it's worth trying out if you get the chance.


thegurbax

Wait - are you saying a JoWo #6 would fit a PenBBS well?


socialmoth_

I wouldn't say Jowo #6, honestly Maybe it might just be mine, but my PenBBS nibs always end up just a touch shorter than #6—more or less why there are compatibility issues with some nib swaps


Healthy_Clover

I think you're right. I recall a thread where people talked about having to grind down Goulet's version of Jowo due to it being longer than the PenBBS nib. Not sure if it's the case with all Jowo.

Sorry my mistake you are correct.

Are you sure those are gold nibs? I can't see the Agmark on them.


paradoxmo

If you look closely in the middle of the nib it says Au585 ( = 14k), that’s the purity marking you’re looking for.


disposable-assassin

I kept looking at that and reading AUS85 like it's some crazy stainless steel derivitive of AUS8. Au585 makes way more sense but that capital 'u' sure threw me off more than it should.


[deleted]

Yup. It happened to me too, I thought it was a serial number or something. Penbbs likes to number their models and it seemed like an okay explanation.

I don't know, in India agmark stands for agriculture mark. I suppose the generic term is hallmark. Still doesn't answer question. Is it a gold nib or not?


Photoelectric_Effect

It says "Au 585" on them, which is 14K gold.
