What tap for this housing?

Anyone know what tap would be used for this housing? Searched the name here with no hits. Is this one decent?

Franklin-Christoph Fountain Pen Nibs - Franklin-Christoph Fine Writing

Cant be sure but they do look like Jowo feeds. Jowo will produce your own branded nibs and feeds with a minimum order needed.

I agree. Sure looks like a Jowo. The fact that they have two italic nibs is also an indication that these are Jowo nibs.

 

[Hendu3270]

So you're saying perhaps Franklin-Christoph had Jowo brand a bunch of nibs and then are just selling them as their own?

 

[mredburn]

Its possible although from what I read they would be tweaking the nibs first. There are a lot of brands that have someone else manufacture parts for themselves. Nibs and feeds are a specialty item that without a large volume of pen sales are better off doing it that way.

I gotcha. I've emailed them to ask if they can tell me the thread size for that housing. I just really like the looks of that nib.

 

[Hendu3270]

Just thought I would update this thread with what I was told by Franklin-Christoph on the tap size.

7.5x.5 mm = #6
6.4x.5mm = #5

 

[mredburn]

Yep that would be Jowo.
