Hi,
I made a Vertex fountain pen kit, and upgraded it with a #5 Heritance nib. But the nib seemed loose, so I went back to the one it came with, and that seems nice and tight.
The nib looks the same size as the #5 nibs I have, so I don't think it's a #6, although I've never had a #6 nib before. Are #6 nibs obviously different widths, or is the important part the radius of the curve?
Here's a front view of the stock nib and the heritance, side by side, and an end view. The heritance nib is the gold plated one. Note that the stock nib has a visibly larger radius, which would explain why the heritance nib was loose.
So, does the Vertex take a #5 or #6 nib, or is it non-standard?
