Kit Pen Nibs

The solid 14k gold Medium tipped nib is available for kit pens. It is a generic nib made by Bock, the largest gold nib maker in the world. We have it in two sizes. We can no longer provide the inner section and feed on the #5 just below. However, this nib will replace many steel nibs in kit pens.

Please see dimensions below to determine if either of these nibs is good for you. Currently, supplies are limited, so please, if you want a large order, let us know in advance.

The tipping detail from the nib above reveals very high quality workmanship. Notice the extra gold thickness which supports the hard surface tipping pellet. Both nibs are firm and durable.

The large nib assembly with the feed & housing will simply screw into the following common kits without any modifications: Gentlemen's, Statesmen & Emperor. They will also work for some others, but with slight modifications.

The smaller nib unit will fit Jr. Gentlemen's, Jr. Statesmen V1 & V2, Baron, Navigator and most other kits using this size nib. Some minor modifications will need to be done for some other kits.
Hint: most kit pen nibs themselves can be pulled straight out of the pen along with the feed. The new gold nib can then be slid back into the section along with the feed.

We do not have any other kit pen parts or the tools to make parts. Sorry.

The first two nibs and sections on the left are the front sections for the Gentlemen & Statesmen, the only difference is the plating. The Emperor front section, third from the left is very similar except that it has a more pronounced flange. The inner section and nib unit is seen on the right.

These nibs can be reground to fine or an extra-fine points. Also, they are suitable for making into a medium-fine stub, medium-fine italic or medium-fine oblique points. These tipping customizations add $55 to the cost of a nib.

* Only available when ordered in advance. Feeds may be additional.
