Sergent Major nibs of this era were hand-ground, as you can see in the photos, allowing them to hold more ink than contemporary nibs made more cheaply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA large and unusually shaped vent hole, paired with a long, fairly firm steel body, give this nib a nice balance between flex and control. Fine hairlines and medium swells are easily achievable, and many calligraphy scripts will look great with this fine French nib.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe standard-diameter base fits almost all pen holders (including all the styles of European and Japanese holders we tested it with.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSold individually. Appearance may vary slightly since this is a vintage item.
