The Gillott 1950 is a uniquely shaped, fairly stiff nib. This pen has a small, sharp point plus an expanded end that allows it to fit into standard holders, unlike most extra-fine nibs. Like all sharp nibs, the 1950 does not operate well on textured papers.
Produces good hairlines and can be used for Spencerian and Copperplate, but performs best as a drawing nib. This nib is ideal for intermediate or advanced level calligraphers and is not recommended for beginners.
This nib is included in our Copperplate Sampler
Measurements: 38mm long x 5mm at widest / 3mm at narrowest
Discounts are as follows: $11.64/dozen, $34.20/3 dozen, $128.16/gross

Love This Nib
This was the first nib I ever really fell in love with. My instructor advertised it as one of his favorites because of how much contrast can be obtained in the strokes and when I saw him use it, I knew I had to have it too. It’s hard to come by, as many places don’t carry it, but it’s how I discovered Paper & Ink Arts and the rest is history. It really does everything very well. I use it for fine point calligraphy, but it can also handle the big heavy strokes as well. Over the years, I’ve worn mine down and have needed new ones, but they tend to have a long life and take significant abuse. I love this nib and think it’s great for beginners and experts. It’s really easy to use and you get a decent amount of ink-flow before having to re-dip.

Love At First Write
There is not much this nib cannot do. It has a wide range of mark sizes and is great for both drawing and lettering. Considering how long and narrow it is, it is surprisingly flexible, though definitely be careful with how much pressure is put on it. I wish it were easier to get a hold of (sold in stores or other online places mainly—if nothing else just to compare reviews from other audiences), but Paper & Ink Arts is absolutely phenomenal, so I have really come to love ordering these nibs from them (and most of my other unique lettering supplies)!
