Thanks for the input Pajaro. I just examined the nib under a loupe and it definately isnt an oblique. It does look quiet a bit more than a fine nib. It is only a slight movement to the left that produces a smoother and juicier writing experience. The nib appears to be aligned properly and as I mentioned before if a person writes with a nib in a certain way for a long time I would have thought the nib would have a small amount of wear in this direction.
I just read an interesting thread on FPN in relation to removing the hood of the 51 and shellac/rosin debate. I noticed you and Mike contributed to that thread. It was back in 2014. I intend to start a new thread on this and ask some questions. Hope you will contribute. Thanks again for your input
