Great Nib
While I don’t have too much practice with Gillott’s, they are predominantly what I own and use. This nib is one of my favorites from my collection. In my opinion, it gives some of the greatest amount of contrast between strokes and provides enough resistance and sturdiness to really dig into some of the thicker ones. It’s definitely not as flimsy as other Gillott nibs, but it’s also a bit more delicate than the 404. It’s a great in-between versatile nib that does almost everything well.

Perfect for numbers and small letters
At first I was afraid to use it because it is not recommended for beginners, but I have adapted very well to it and I liked it a lot, it is perfect for numbers and small letters. I have not tried it on rough paper yet...like cold pressed watercolor paper, but on smooth paper I've loved it, it makes fine and thick lines in a beautiful way.
