Sorry bout this, I’m really a pen freak (you can ask anyone who has known me more than 2 days!)… found another great article bout writing & pens… (still can’t sleep — ugh!)

Wednesday, November 17th, 2004Since I’ve been off ill from work I’ve been kind of bored so I was browsing the net looking for info on Fountain Pens — particularly what the different nib sizes XF F M B BB O OB OBB mean — I know the first five — extra fine to extra bold, but I wanted to know what the O OB OBB meant.
