Default A 51 nib for Sanskrit? It can be done.

OK, this time there is an attempted writing demo page. This shows
"before" and "after" photos of a Parker 51 retipped as a harpoon/Sanskrit
style nib (a one of a kind, as nearly every harpoon tip in the past has been
requested for sheaffer balance and touchdown admirals!). It writes razor
fine on vertical strokes and is an extra wide italic on horizontal strokes.
The harpoon blade is VERY slightly curved to enable some line variation
based on angle changes. The shading can be exaggerated by altering the angle
of the hand...it is a versatile shading nib once a user tries it out a bit
and finds its capabilities. It is also a super smooth fine when upside down.
