Look what just arrived! An 18k gold Bock nib for my latest commission. For info Starbond Europa are not the easiest people to deal with (all correspondence is in German and they ONLY take bank transfer, no other payment method) but they ship nice and promptly once you have jumped through all the hoops.

130 euros plus shipping, Terry. I got a 50% deposit from the customer before I ordered it!

That is a 18 karat gold nib, no wonder it is that expensive. They do have cheaper options.

The client originally specified a steel nib, but then decided to go the whole hog. It certainly wouldn't be going into any of my personal pens - not unless I win the Lottery!

Looks like a long nib or not pushed in yet David but it allows the better viewing of a class produst I will be interested to now see which kit chosen and the finished article following such pre care in the nib,feed. Have success mate.
