Hello again, I would appreciate if I could help in the interpretation of this NIB, there is only one thing that puzzles me is the letter G below the number 1, I think that 1 is the degree of NIB but ¿ know it means the letter G ?. If anyone can help, I appreciate it very much.

 Best Regards to all from Spain

(I have replied to the other post which is the same!).

 

As for your 3, I have an identical one - the Swan around the breather shows that it is a late nib - early 1950s.  The rest I have covered int he other post.

Hello again, the G never seen in a nib Nib but I've seen a H, meaning Hard - rigid - Ah -¿? - And also with a D, which I think means is Manifold - extra hard - I hope you can help us interpret the obtained algien this nomenclature

Shorthand nib ? Maybe G means a Gregg shorthand style.

I think that's what it means but I find no literature to support it, i would like to know the meaning of  letters G, H (hard) and  D in the Swan Nib. Regards and thanks
