I already have a NeroUno Linea in rose gold trim with the same nib but I got an amazing deal on a new NeroUno with silver trim that I just couldn't pass up! The Linea is supposed to be a medium nib but it actually feels like a fine compared to this new NeroUno with a medium nib. I do think I might need to heat set the feed though because it is kind of puking ink a little. Feels smoother than the Linea as well. Really interesting since they're the same 18kt nib just with different plating. I'll report back about it once it's sorted. I need to look at the nib under magnification to see what's up first. Here's some pics!

Cap is a little different than the Linea model

Formulansx · 12 July 2016, 06:23 PM

1912 emblem. Same as the Linea.

Different looking feed than the usual.

Side view.

Front view of the nib. You can see some excess ink collecting. The pen actually kind of sucks in air now and then of which is very different. It will throw down a ton of ink and then hard start. It's acting exactly like my Visconti Wall Street before I heat set the feed. There was a big gap feed to nib on that pen after I installed the new feed.

Lovely Fountain Pen!

Really like the hooded nib!

Great pen. I am currently using my NeroUno linea pen today. They write beautifully. Enjoy.

Formulansx · 13 July 2016, 02:51 PM

Did some work to the pen today. One tine of the nib was pretty high. I tweaked it down and its flowing much better. The nib gap is a little wider than I like but it's running good. No more puking ink everywhere and making darth Vader noises

also I'm 90% sure my NeroUno Linea is a fine nib after looking at both side by side. Thanks guys for the compliments. It's a great pen now that the minor nib issues are sorted

Funny thing. When the nib tines were off it was dead smooth. After adjusting them level, the nib became scratchy. I did a few brief figure "8's" on 12k grit paper and it was back to being glass.

Again.... I really like the looks of that FP!

Putting it on my short list!

Thanks for the updates!
