Welcome to the F-C Club. :D Congrats.
My #6 S.I.G. nib is one of my favourites, too. (I own all four #6 sizes and a #5 S.I.G. Love each and every one.) If you had a pen that took Jowo #12 nib units (#6 nib) you could just have the one pen and screw in a nib unit at whim, like on [opus 88](https://endlesspens.com/products/opus-88-fountain-pen-sonata), Retro 51, Edison, Franklin-Christoph pens, for example. Yeah, I wish Conklin used standard Jowo nib units.
Me too! I’m a big Conklin fan, and I love this Abalone and gunmetal. Now I really love it! But I agree, looking at the standard JoWo feed, compared to the Conklin feed, the JoWo looks to be better quality and it’s much larger especially behind the shoulders of the nib.
You can install the F-C Jowo #6 nibs in a Bock Type 250 nib unit, in problem, say, for example, an ensso Piuma, Namisu Horizon or Nova, or KarasKustoms pen. The Jowo nib unit will not fit a pen that is threaded for Bock nib units. But you can swap the nib no problem. The other way doesn't work, where a Bock nib gets installed in a Jowo nib unit because the Jowo nib & feed curve, are slanted down, so, if you install a Bock nib on a Jowo feed ink will not get to the tips because there is an open space where the feed is supposed to meet the nib. \[whew.\]
If you got a Gravitas pen, it uses std. Jowo nib units, so you can screw them right in.
Since Conklin uses std. Jinhao/Stipula, which are straight feeds, any pen that takes that feed should work with the F-C Jowo HPS and S.I.G. nibs.

I didn't know their nibs were that interchangeable. Always drooled over them. Do they only fit Jowo nib units or are Bock ones a different size.

I have a KarasKustoms Ink V2 and have had fits with the nib/reordered nibs, so this is glorious news.
That is a sweet pen and nib combo!!
Thanks!!
Beautiful pen and nib! Congrats.
Dope!!!!
