Lots of good stuff came in the mail. Orders spread out over several weeks and from vendors in different countries showed up at the same time. Not going to post it all at once, though.

The one thing I was most eager to check is that the ebonite Jowo #6 compatible feed and housing I ordered fit the Vazir nib, section, and converter perfectly. Hopefully this will work to get it functional again, but I'm not filling it until I start the colorverse inks.

Two photo collage with one photo on top of the other. Top photo is of a fountain pen nib. It is two tone yellow and silver, with some engraved lines around the edges. The nib is primarily gold except for an image of a queen chess piece in the center is silver. Under the chess piece is stamped "1.1". The black collar of the nib unit housing protrudes slightly from the section. The section is stacked celluloid with blue, yellow, and red pieces visible in a variety of shades. The lower photo is similar to the top photo, but it is the underside of the nib. The feed is visible under the nib, it is a tapered black cylinder with notches nut into it at regular intervals along its shaft. In both photos, the nib unit assembly appears to fit well and be reasonably well-aligned.
