Posted this a couple weeks ago on Zoss list. Most of the text is in the large picture to load (be patient if slow connection). Figure worth another peek. There some lesson or another here about approaches to collecting, though not sure I know exactly which lesson ;)

Certainly, it does not hurt to post one's interests online. Certainly, pen shows have benefits hard to match in online approach alone to collecting.

Looks like I have some catching up to do on my wasp collection... Great grab David. The red mottled twist is interesting (translation: it is one of the coolest wasp variants.) :)

Regards,
George

Hello David,
A while back I purchased a Wasp Addipoint and the cap and barrel are in great shape. However the EF steel nib is bent...I much prefer a med or broad nib. Doyou have any spares there? The section looks like ebonite or black plastic. Can you help?


Thanks,
Lee

Hi Lee,

Yep. I recall. I'm home again a few days. Have doubts about broad. Maybe medium. Will hunt. At worst, might not be unreasonable to replace with proper size Sheaffer nib
