I have a Wancher which the size is like the Delta Dolce Vita. The nib is very scratchy, after I polish it with sand paper, it write very well.

I really need to purchase a Goulet nib and fit it on this pen.

Thanks for bringing this pen to my attention. I had no idea Wancher did that sort of thing. And I agree, quite Delta-esque.

Yes, there's some very sincere flattery going on in the design department by the look of it ...

The Chestnut version is on my list too.

I did not end up putting a Goulet 1.1 nib on this one but it did get a nib upgrade. There was a lot of nib shuffling going on though:

A "B" instead of the "F" by the looks of it ? Have you stubbed it or is it a natural B.
Do you think that improved the pen for your use.

It is a stubbed B nib. It does make using it much better. :)
