    Default Vintage nibs

    Does anyone know if there's a place that sells vintage nibs? Or do you just have to hunt around for a pen to salvage one off of.

    Thanks

    Of course it depends upon the make you are looking for, but there's Vintage Waterman Pens as a starting point.

    best of Luck,

    I've not bought anything from them, but Five Star Pens seems to have a lot in the way of unmarried nibs.
    Given to daily lunatic raving, but also capable of more prolonged pen-centricity.

    You can also try the "Wanted" forum: http://fpgeeks.com/forum/forumdispla...o-Buy-or-Trade

    Be as specific as possible, including details of the pen the nib is for, and any details you might have of the nib you are replacing.
