Hi,
I went to Dromgoole's Pen Shop today in Houston and had a very good experience there. I bought a Pelikan M200 Demonstrator and a J. Herbin Glass pen, plus a couple of bottles of ink. The owner kindly offered to have his nib doctor grind the medium nib to a fine if I wanted one (the pen he had came with a medium nib), and in the alternative he would change out the M nib to an EF nib he had on another Pelikan pen. This was perfect for me. He also filled the pen with whatever ink I liked, which was a nice opportunity to try out something I hadn't tried (a purple, naturally: Private Reserve Purple Mojo).
I will definitely be going back there again.
