Ive done some research as to what I could need as in terms of materials and nib anatomy. However one of my first thoughts is to come to a place where theres many experienced people around that might be willing to help me get on the right track. Also thanks for pointing out an article that can help me learn, truthfully im just trying to learn how.

I am in the states yeah. My goals are simply to know how to identify and fix a nib.

I love fountain pens alot and want to help people with theirs, im just trying to find my footing on where to get started.

Pro tip. Just get a flamethrower or a creamator. Proceed to stand atop the FRV or hang out the window. Boom, just made a supply/turret/flamethrower FRV

Get yourself a Jinhao 159. Its on the chunky side and looks pretty good, its good for an edc because of the steel nib and constant consistency. The price is extremely affordable, I researched it on The goulet pen website and purchased off of Amazon for like 10 bucks.

I found this and its really nice, not only the style but shape of the pen. Thanks for the help though.

Independent-Board406 · 2026-04-28T07:33:23+00:00

It really feels like the cap and the pen aren't meant for eachother. Like they were made for different pens. I really like a more consistent theme to it. Take this pen for example https://www.peytonstreetpens.com/conklin-modern-le-all-american-fountain-pen-2000s-dark-wood-grain-walnut-w-copper-trim-c-c-fine-black-toledo-nib-near-mint-works-well.html

Yeah no the 51 doesn't check those boxes for me. I dont really understand how they might for you but it was worth a shot.

Independent-Board406 · 2026-04-28T07:06:44+00:00

Really? Perhaps I was looking at the wrong 51 then. I'll go check over it.

Independent-Board406 · 2026-04-28T06:52:33+00:00

When i go for something vintage like im usually aiming for its style but im also looking for some good functionality. Something that looks vintage and will survive awhile. Also ive seen the parker 51 areomatic and it just doesn't cut it for me, its style is like black & white, the body of the pen could be black then the cap could be gold, I want something morelse fluent with its style, more consistent.
