Pens were not static tools.
If the nib wasn't working it got replaced, filed or ground to suit the owner's hand.
The pens were made to be repaired, nibs were supposed ot be replaced or reground.
A nib that has been well used over forty or fifty years may need some attention - and it was made to get that attention, or be replaced.
If the nib isn't working - get it reground, or source a replacement, if you can.
It was one of the design features of many older pens.
