    All nibs which tested are fully adjusted, there are no known problems (scratch, crispy, hard starts, etc.), and both sides of nib are fully working. Those pens/nibs that are in NOS condition can be fully serviced and tested at your request without additional cost. Also, additionally, by order, I can modify or re-grind nib on chosen pen to your favorite type(Italic, Architect, Goccia/Naginata or etc).

    If you need any additional information, or writing sample, please ask.

    Worldwide shipping costs $10-20US extra depending on country and total weight. Shipping by priority Air Mail(2-3 weeks for US and EU). EMS delivery is possible on additional request (Fedex, DHL are too expensive).PayPal.
