old NOVA mouthpiece

This mpc has one line up, three lines down and logo in the middle.
There is "NOVA" hand engraving on the right side of the table.
I don't think this is a current production because it looks different from a photo on Fobes' web.

What kind of blank is this and what's tip size?

I sent a mail to him and am still waiting for his reply.

Anybody, please put some info here.

Thanks in advance.

I did my home work.

The difference between my Nova and current model is “Nova” engraving.
Mine has "NOVA" hand engraving on the right side of the table.
A photo on his web site shows “NOVA” below the logo and I believe this is machine engraved.
Logo looks same.

So, I think mine is very early version of Nova and …I like this one better than SF CF zinner.

I tried both on my R13 with Gonzalez FOF.
My Nova gave me better resonance and projection.
I believe this is JJ Babbitt blank with CF+ facing.

Great piece!
