I have really enjoyed all the Schneider Pens I have purchased. They even work well with troublesome inks that cause other pens to fail. As an example I have a bottle of Chesterfield Obsidian (discontinued?- rumored to be a re-bottled diamine ink) that will not flow properly in Parker Frontiers, Pilot Metropolitans, etc. and my Schneider iD and Base pens use it with no issues.
Could you provide additional details on nib/diameter for these pens? I would guess a Medium nib and 0.7mm Rollerball as these are most common but may be helpful to those on the fence about purchasing.
Thanks!
MC_FreelancerI second the request for details about the nib/ball.

MC_Freelancer Fountain pen Ray is a "Medium" nib, correct. Rollerball Ray is approx. 0.6 mm writing (ball diameter 07 mm) Hope this helps

ColeenHallThanks Coleen! I actually received a Ray Fountain Pen with a "Broad" Nib - B marking on nib and line width equivalent to the Schneider Base "B" nib I already owned.

MC_FreelancerDid you select the nib size at checkout?

esqjediThere is no nib size option during checkout only color pattern and when available right or left handed nibs. According to the company's own website there is no posting of sizes other than a Medium.

MC_FreelancerI see-thank you--- saw a test on Youtube-- looks like the Medium is a std Medium leaning toward Fine. (I'm a Broad nib person...)
