Explanation of differences between old nibs/antique nibs and modern nibs:
Thick metal material and more detailed workmanship
Made of primary metal (non-plating)・Easy to write by hand and does not require long break-in
Strong ink-holding capacity・Comparatively more durable
Use the key points
1. No need to bake before use, or brush with a toothbrush
2. There are original or horizontal or straight scratches on the front of some nibs. This is what the original factory did before the nib came out, so that the nib can be used immediately after purchase, not a defective product.
3. If the ink is stained with oil, the ink is poorly adhered or cannot be diverted (such as hand touch or Wax on paper), just use soap to clean it a little, and it can be used after washing and drying.
4. Wash and dry as soon as possible after use, and then store it after air-drying to avoid rusting of the pen tip
5. The slight rust of the pen body will not affect the writing, but the rust of the nib will affect the writing.
Old nibs/antique nibs are out of print, all new collectibles are sold, while stocks last
Detailed inspection will be carried out before shipment, if there is any defect, it will not be shipped
