Unflexed it writes precise, 0.30mm on the cross stroke and 0.50mm on the down stroke, so your plain handwriting picks up a little flourish on its own. Moderate pressure opens the tines to 3B, close to a 4x spread, and the feed runs juicy through the whole cycle. The ceiling is 1.20mm, a constrained full flex, so the swell stays tidy inside normal line spacing and every stroke keeps that soft feeling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eThe ENGLAND stamp puts this nib in Waterman's English production, which ran from the mid-1920s under Frank D. Waterman's expansion and had grown into its own model numbering by the 1940s. The 14ct mark is the European carat spelling, the same fineness as an American 14k.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eB grade, light wear from use with a clear imprint, nothing structural. Tuned at the bench with the tipping smoothed to a polish, heat-set into the red Nikko ebonite JOWO #6 housing on a matched ebonite feed, then tested writing as a full assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eTested on Tomoe River 68gsm White A5 with Pelikan 4001 Brilliant Black.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heron's Mooncake","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47291548696764,"sku":"HM2608014","price":350.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0740\/7435\/7948\/files\/DSC04044.jpg?v=1787069185","url":"https:\/\/heronsmooncake.com\/products\/jowo-6-nib-unit-watermans-5-ideal-england-14ct-gold-fine-super-flex","provider":"Herons Mooncake","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
