    Default WTT: Visconti HS Dark Ages Nib Swap

    Recently picked up a Maxi Dark Ages HomoSapiens with a Double Broad nib. The nib has been tuned by Dan Smith. Writes wonderfully, just too broad for my writing style. I'm not opposed to having the nib ground down to something more usable for myself, but I'd hate to do it if someone else is looking for this nib.

    Would be interested in trading for another Dark Ages nib, preferably in Fine or Medium.

    Dan Smith does great work and I'm sure your nib is a joy to write with. Hope you find the trade you're looking for.

    Coles of London will exchange the nib for $25. They are very efficient ! However, I don't know if they would still agree to do an exchange on a nib that has been worked on .. You could still give them a call.

    I was aware that they will swap a nib for a nominal fee if it's unaltered. To my knowledge, this one never met a grinding wheel, just adjusted for proper flow and performance. I'd wager that it could fly under the radar if I was inclined to try. Just thought I'd offer it up here, first, as I know the double broad is a more expensive nib to purchase. Don't care to trade a more expensive nib for a less expensive one AND pay $25 to do it.

    If I don't find any interest before the Atlanta Pen Show in April, I'll likely have it ground to something more fitting for my use.

    I have a Visconti Brunelleschi which I got through the FPN group on Facebook. It came with a Smartouch and Dream touch nib. The ST is a broad stub and I love it. The DT is an EF. I might be able to be persuaded to let the EF go. Send Message if interested.

    Thanks for the offer, but I think I'm inclined to stick to the darker colored nib. The Brunelleschi is a rhodium plated nib, correct?

    I assumed by the pic that you decided to change out the dark nib.

    Hello I have a broad nib for the Hs dark age that I wouldn’t mind to change for the double broad, tell me if you’re still interested.

    Best regards
