The Etsy vendor has issued me a full refund with return, no questions asked. I think this experience has made me too wary of purchasing replacement parts online again, sight unseen. I think I may either pony up for a Montblanc replacement, or take it to a nib tech to regrind it. It's very smooth but very wet, often filling the loops when I write 'o' or 'e' etc.
Thanks for the replies.
