Sales here include the nib, feed and housing. All of our individually sold nibs get our 7 step testing and tuning process, the same as when included on pens.
Note that most reported nib issues come from individual nib sales, so it's crucial that you use the proper technique to install and remove nibs. See our video here of our recommended method: https://www.franklin-christoph.com/pages/recommended-method-for-changing-removing-replacing-a-nib
#5 nib units fit Franklin-Christoph Models 14, 25, 27, 28, 29, p40, 45, 45L, 451, 55, 65 Stabilis, and more to come.
High Performance Steel is more like gold today than most nibs you'll find through pen history.
Solid Gold is softer and the nibs will write a little wetter. We use 14k nibs for our gold choice as we feel this alloy gives the best performance. Our solid gold nibs also get a rhodium plating for a silver color, but the logo is cut in relief, showing the yellow gold in the diamond shape.
All sizes are "Western" and equivalent to most US or German brands.
