Found this at a thrift store on my vacation. Pics not so good but it is a wearever Fountain Pen/Pencil. The FP Tip has a broken tang and I know it needs some love but does anyone have any knowledge about this?
Thanks

I didn't want to mention this earlier in case it turned out to be my bad memory -- but I appear to have a pen with a very similar nib (and a similar design embossed in the clip, although not the name of the maker.)
I can't get the nib out without some extra grip (I have section pliers at home), but here's a photo for comparison with your nib.
If it's a match, I'm sure we can work something out.

You are climbing onto a slippery slope. You may never escape.
That nib could potentially be reground to a much broader line. Might be worth considering to keeping the original nib in working condition to enhance the value when your heirs sell it some day.
Have fun with this!!!!
Thanks I will keep it in mind pm me if you wish I still need to order the bladder and glue from Indy and someone is sending me a 5mm nib to see if that will work.
Anyone know where I can get a NIB that looks like this It is from the pen above
If you would like to enhance the value of the pen so it writes better, I'd suggest to find a Warranted 14K nib that is about the same size.

That is easier said than done -- the shape is quite different from the Bock and Jowo nibs I've encountered :redface:
