    Cool MB 149 Nib grinding or replacement

    Hi everyone,
    Can someone help with a query I have? I have a 149 Medium but would like an Extra Fine nib. Do I have to buy a new nib or could I get it reground? If so, do you know of anyone reliable who could do it? I've read about John Sorowka but I don't have his contact details.
    I'd really appreciate your help
    Best wishes
    John

    Hi

    Yes you can have it re-ground, what country do you live in, its easier to make recommendations once we know where you live.

    There are quite a few options if you are in America but not so many if in Europe or the Far East.

    I'd start by contacting Battersea Pen Home. And welcome home. Pull up a stump and set a spell.

    I'll PM the OP with contact details for John Sorowka.

    John has ground three nibs for me, but no affiliation other than a happy customer.

    That's fantastic! If you could that would be great. The alternative is paying MB for a new nib-might as well get a new pen!
    Thanks
