Spares

The only spare parts I sell are those listed below. The main reason for this is that vintage spares often vary in colour shades, thread sizes etc. and fitting the correct part is often a matter of trial and error.

Nibs 

One of the beauties of modern-day pens is that the nibs come as complete units that simply screw in, so there is no need to send the pen in for repair. In fact, even some of the older pens had screw-in nibs, of which I still have a few left. 

The nibs offered for sale on this page ARE THE ONLY ONES I SELL. In all other cases I need to have the pen for repair, as there can sometimes be different thread sizes etc. Of course, I have many more nibs than shown here. Just because the nib or nib grade you want doesn't appear on this list doesn't mean that I don't have it. It could be that I have the nib only, without the section or feed, that I can fit to your existing unit. Please enquire.

I update this page weekly, so please check by e-mail before ordering, as some of the nibs are limited, unrepeatable stock and may have been sold.
