The Gillott 303 is a pointed nib that is excellent for Copperplate calligraphy. This nib has the perfect flexibility: it's not too stiff or too rubbery, although it performs best under a light hand. The 303 is very sharp and is best used on smooth papers, but can operate on lightly textured surfaces under an expert hand.
Endorsed by Eleanor Winters in Mastering Copperplate Calligraphy along with the Gillott 404. This nib is ideal for intermediate or advanced level calligraphers and is not recommended for beginners.
For more information about the performance of this nib, including tips for best use, comparative charts, and example artwork, read our blog post with Schin Loong from @openinkstand.
Measurements: 30mm long x 5mm wide
Discounts are as follows: $9.24/dozen $27.00/36 $99.36/gross

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.

A fine but scratchy nib
I do Engrosser's Script, and prefer nibs with fine hairlines. It is less stiff than the Leonardt Principal, and requires less pressure while writing. However, it tends to catch on the paper during an upstroke (and especially during flourishing), and some of them can have difficulty writing. Despite the problems, I really like it due to the fineness of the hairlines, the flexibility and the cheaper cost compared to the Leonardt Principal.
