This italic is smoother and less crisp than others, which gives it more options for different papers not to bite into the paper. Just what I was looking for. Also very wet, almost too wet. No need to press down or use a lubricated ink. Ink flow keeps up with fast writing no problem. I am not a calligrapher, just a letter writer, so bear that in mind. No "railroading" to speak of. Pelikan brand, so quality is there. Less than the usual price also.

Pelikan makes great nibs in a wide range of styles. Their nibs are easy to replace and typically fit a number of different models. I find this particularly useful when it comes to an italic point which I may need some of the time but not all of the time. This particular nib is beautifully made and a pleasure to use. Thank you, Goldspot!

The work horse M200 has an Italic nib. I wonder if this has been discontinued by Pelikan? Have not seen them offered anywhere else. Its nice and smooth and writes as expected of an italic nib

This nib writes like a 'super-broad' point - there is almost no differentiation between the cross stroke and the down stroke.
