Wow, interesting nib. What size was the nib before PB worked his magic?

I bought it used, so I don't know what size it nominally was. My guess was BB. I don't think there was a significant increase in the maximum line width. The minimum was significantly reduced (quick horizontal strokes can go down to 0.2mm, and when held vertically, it is capable of 0.1mm lines), and the "fun factor" went way up.

I sent that Platinum Century 3776 I bought from you to him for a Butterline Stub, and it's my favorite pen, now. It has a nice Medium line with a panache. And I usually like only fine or extra fine nibs. :)

I'm thinking of getting him to do my 149 as well. Did you go for the standard CI or the extra crisp?

I did not request any extra crispness.
