For the plastic writing instruments, such as CLASSIC, SKYLINE and FROSTED SPORT, there is a matching grip section with an integrated nib section for every fountain pen. Here it is not possible to change the nib section only. For all other series, you can either screw in a 060 nib section or for the SUPRA and ELITE series a 250 nib section, as all higher-priced Kaweco writing instruments are equipped with a screw thread. Instructions on this topic can be found here: PDF: Kaweco Instruction Video: Kaweco Tutorial STUDENT. How to change the nib? JetPens has aa page on changing out Kaweco nibs here: https://www.jetpens.com/blog/how-to-swap-kaweco-sport-fountain-pen-nibs/pt/960 However, this is obviously geared to swapping like for like (that is, Kaweco for Kaweco). The nib comes with the feed unit. If you want to be adventurous, you can figure out by measuring whether some other type of nib would work; I often use vintage Waterman #2 nibs as a kind of universal donor. But be careful, since you don?t want a nib that?s too big for the feed. FWIW, it appears you can get a 14k Kaweco nib that fits the Sport, if you want to spend many multiples of the pen?s price for the nib. The JetPens site has a page devoted to how to put a replacement nib in. Good luck!

Maybe on a pen list, it should be called "ink drops." I will amend it to that word if the plurality desires, otherwise, I will speak to the Witch with the ready Easy-Bake oven for children (different meaning than normal) and ask if Hansel and Gretel can be supplied with cookies, so they can drop cookie crumbs. However, birds eat them, too. Best wishes, David On Mon, Jan 18, 2021 at 7:57 PM R. Paul Martin wrote: > On 2021-01-17 19:38, D.J.J.

URL: From penbloch at gmail.com Wed Jan 20 01:28:26 2021 From: penbloch at gmail.com (Paul Bloch) Date: Tue, 19 Jan 2021 17:28:26 -0600 Subject: [Zosslist] Pelikan Rollerballs for sale Message-ID: Like many of you, I suppose, I am writing less these days. In my case, the fact that I am retired, spending more time at home (COVID caution), and have acquired a few disabilities as I age, is limiting me. This, however, is not a report on my activities recently, but rather what I hope might be an interesting offer, especially to Pelikan collectors. I own eight Pelikan R200/250 rollerballs: four have the thick/thin cap band and two chicks on each cap. The other four have a single, thin cap band, and a single chick on the cap top. The colors on the first four are the standard Pelikan green, blue and gray swirl, and a brown stripe, made for Levenger, I am told. The others are black, burgundy, transparent, and one with a body with five evenly-spaced silver bands. All are in at least excellent condition, with nothing marring the finish. I?d like $1000 for the set, although reasonable offers will be entertained. Shipping, free, to CONUS. Thanks for looking. I also have some very nice full-sized RBs and BPs I cannot use because my hands don't like their size/weight.
