i've received two exotic nibs.

one is 18K edson, the other is visconti palladium 23K

both nibs are in bad condition.

edson barely has a tip, visconti doesn't have any.

visconti palladium 23K may be a challenge, as it is very exotic material.

this is before the repair state:

visconti

aside from the exotic shape of edson, welding was straight forward.

palladium 23K required much more energy, and was definitely not "weld friendly"
