I had a Sheaffer No nonsense pen with a medium nib that I used so much it eventually turned into sort of an oblique nib, as the end gradually wore down.

This is a size comparison with one to my 400's. This is also the last of my Pelikans unless you count an M200 Green Marble I have put away for a future gift for.....

Thanks michaelw it's probably by trying to. As I write I try to "feel" the line. My writing used to be APPALLING as a child and it has been a long slow improvement. When I got back into pens, improving my writing was one of my aims. It is interesting but I look at what I wrote and see nothing but mistakes! I want to use some of this time to get better. There are "methods" that can be downloaded and the old ones are the best. Most people hardly write at all these days so it becomes less and less important.

rocl - do you write in your own script style? Or, do you try to emulate a particular script font/alphabet?
