Good Afternoon,

I recently received a Conklin Glider Fountain Pen as a gift and it has a Medium nib. I am hoping that it can be replaced with a finer point nib, but I am not sure where to start or if it even can be replaced. Any help would be great appreciated.

Thank You

You can have it ground to a finer point. gregminuskin.com is one place you can start. Mike Masuyama also does this type of work. I am not sure if Tyler Dahl is still grinding nibs. Richard Binder stopped about a year or so ago unless you buy the pen from him.

Dahl has stopped for now. No repairs, nib tunings, nothing. He's doing something in the military I think.

Oh yeah, Dan as in FPGeeks Dan seems to be doing nib work. At least I have seen his name thrown around in a couple of threads.
