Good Sturdy Nib
Haven’t used this nib too much, but it is definitely a favorite of mine from the Gillott collection. It’s super sturdy compared to the mapping nibs, and able to get some nice fine lines. the ink runs through this way too quickly though. I find that really annoying, as I’ll need to redip before I’m even done with a letter sometimes. Otherwise, it’s great!

Perfect for numbers and small letters, ink flows very well.
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. In my opinion it is too similar to Gillot 303 Nib, a little more hard but it is not much difference. 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, the ink flows very well.
