Writing in Russian cyrillic script with a fountain pen. The #6 "Iridium Point Germany" nib is an affordable modern OEM nib of Asian origin. Only the tip is German made and it contains no Iridium as other modern nib tips. The tiny tipping pellets are soldered or welded onto a nib tip prior to cutting the nib slit and grinding the tip into its final shape and are made of an alloy containing Osmium, Ruthenium and Tungsten in a mix of other materials.
