N.B.: I don't have a camera at work so I can't get you pictures.
I pulled out my vintage UK Duofold today for the week at work.
I haven't really used this pen except to sign the occasional cheque.
So today I hit the paper like I do with every other pen.
But if the nib is straight on the paper it's scratchy as all can be moving left to right.
Only left to right. Up and down is fine, right to left is fine.
I rotate the nib counter clockwise and it writes like a dream.
I rotate the nib clockwise and it doesn't write at all.
What kind of nib is on this thing. I look at it and it's definitely not round.
It looks like an italic, but I don't have this problem with my Edison italic nib.
I just don't know enough about nibs yet.
