Hello.
I have a 51 which I think is one of the more recent versions, as it has a squared off bottom to the barrel. It has a lovely broad oblique nib.
Unfortunately a couple of years ago it came into contact with something in my bag - possibly perfume - and the barrel has "melted" and deformed. The filler is stuck inside.
I also have an older round bottomed 51 with a medium nib, but the thread on the barrel seems to be different, and I can't just swap the barrels over.
I want to use the broad oblique nib. Would it be possible to exchange the medium nib for the broad oblique? This would give me a "whole" pen.
I'm not proposing to do this myself, but I just want to know if it's possible.
Thanks for any advice.
