    Default What is the 2460 nib really?

    I'm finding conflicting information on the Esterbrook 2460 nib.

    http://www.esterbrook.net/nibs.shtml says it is a "firm fine recordkeeping"

    http://www.richardspens.com/?page=re...enew_point.htm says "rigid medium manifold" -- does anyone have a vintage ad or box that can clarify this for sure?

    This source says "firm medium."

    This one says it's a fine.

    Peyton Street describes it as a fine.

    Over here
    it's called a firm medium. (use control+f or cmd+f to get to the reference quickly)

    And now all we know is that I, too, can find conflicting sources.

    Someone on the board that shall not be named posted a photo of the 9460 box that states X-Firm, but no indication of the size of the line...
