Psi nibs. Now jowo it seems.

[edstreet]

Long story short will have an expert opinion this Saturday but the fountain pen that arrived today ( order placed Tuesday ) has a Jowo nib on it. Read expert as in a nib grinder who was trained by Richard binder himself and grinds hundreds of nibs a year.

I have not ask the company nor is there any plans to do so. Reason being last call on the subject netted dumb looks and empty answers. I have heard some reports of this change but this is the first that I can verify.

That's quick delivery. Let us know when you hear more and post some pics. I haven't made any of their fountain pens yet but still interesting.

Have a good Ed photo of the nib? What's the design / stamp? What kit was it?

The PSI catalog claims Schmidt FP nibs on the Art Deco and Nouveau Scptre pens. My understanding (and I could be wrong on this) is that Schmidt nibs are made by Jowo. They don't mention FP nibs on the Majestic and Jr Majestic lines. The Majestic Jr Nib says Iridium Point Germany and also has a B on it below the IPT. I've never heard anyone mention Jowo marking their nibs like that but perhaps...who knows.

Sorry, I am swamped with other things and have not taken any photo's of this yet.


Meisternibs - Steel Nibs - #5 Steel Polished IPG

You will have to settle for this IPG logo nib from meister nibs instead.

I thought for Schmidt nibs their gold gilded were made by JoWo and their polished steel by Bock, but I could be wrong.
