Hello there;
I recently purchased a Sheaffer Valor through Kenro Industries sample sale. The pen has a fine nib... and well, it's a bit too fine for what I'm used to.

And while email to the US contact on Sheaffer's site remains unanswered, perhaps someone here can help me with a few questions.

Can a fine nib like this be customized or tweaked (sent in to Richard's Pens or nibs.com)? Other US-Based shops that'll do nib customizations?
Where can I find a new medium nib for the pen?

As far as the pen's looks.... it's certainly good lookin'! As far its writing... Meh. Nothin' to write home about.

Take care,
/mark/

Sheaffer are usually quite good at answering their mails, so give it a day or so.

Have you thought of putting the nib in with 'Swap for medium ...' in the subject line?
I am sure there are guys out there with medium nibs that would swap.
