I don’t use fine nibs so I have no comparison. I restored a vintage Conway Stewart 58 today, full restoration, including polish. The nib tines were quite tight and I worked it a while to get it in shape. Writing was scratchy and I smoothed it out, however, there is I very tight window for writing. If the nib is held perfectly it writes like glass. If I write faster or hold the nib to the left or right it’s scratchy. At more extreme angles it won’t write at all. Is this something normal with vintage/fine nibs? Is it something better addressed by a professional? Thanks
