    Default English "51" question

    Hi All,

    I have an English "51", made in 1952. The nib has a large 'G' on it, in addition to "Made in England" and "1952". I imagine the 'G' is a nib code. Does anyone know what it means?

    Thanks

    Maybe. But aren't Gregg nibs usually very fine? This nib is similar in width to my Kaweco BB.
