I realize it is unlikely but anyone has one of Francis Goosens' Sheaffer Triumph nib removal tools they are willing to let go of I would like to obtain one.

I don't have one and don't know where to obtain one now that Francis no longer makes them. But, have you read this thread on FPN (http://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/106340-shaeffer-triumph-repair-for-amateurs/)?

I probably have. Having been doing this for about 5 years now I have read all kinds of articles on the subject. He seems to have been charmed. I have used heat guns,hair dryers and the like and have only managed to get that to work with one of these nibs without breaking the plastic threaded insert. I know restorers who have stopped offering to restore these pens because of the difficult of getting the nibs off safely on a consistent basis.
