I'd like to make the community aware (if they are not already) of the phenomenal job done by fpnibs.com grinding two nibs for me.
One was a stainless steel Pelikan M205 B ground to an arabic/hebraic (commonly known as an architect) nib, and the other was a Lamy Z50 with the same grind. Total cost for the nibs, regrinds, and shipping was about €40.
Yes, €40 for two custom ground nibs. Amazing.
Anyway, the nibs arrived today. My Lamy's are all at work so I'm not able to test the Z50, but I have been able to test the Pelikan in my M215. I couldn't be happier. My new favourite nib? Quite possibly!
And to satisfy my CDO (that's OCD in alphabetical order), they even granted my special request to grind the Z50 from an Anfaenger (A) nib so that the designation on the nib would match the Arabic grind.
Can't recommend fpnibs.com highly enough!
