Replacement Nib For Beverly?

[ch2112]

Hi All,

 

I have a purple Beverly bought for me for Christmas a few years back that I LOVE, but I would like to find a fine nib for it. Does anyone know if Cross sells replacements, or if any of their current replacements will fit? Sorry if this is a silly question, I am new to fountain pens, this is the only one I own.

 

Thanks!

I don't know the Beverly.

 

I looked on the Cross USA website at the replacement nibs, but no Beverly.

 

But you could try and call or mail them Their service has always been very good. Perhaps they still have one around.

Hi, There is a range of pens by Cross which don't appear on the website, they are sold in department stores and stationers shops in the UK.

I have the Bailey, and I have tried the nib from the 'Century 2' which is a good fit, and to me they seem identical in shape.

The only real difference seems to be the engraved pattern on the nib's top surface, that varies from model to model.

Of those I have seen,'Aventura', 'Bailey', 'Dubai' and 'Beverley', these do seem to share the same design nib, and all I've seen are 'medium'.

So I would think it's fair to say a Century 2 nib in 'fine' may well fit the 'Beverley', but I believe you have to buy the whole section complete,

(nib, feed and grip section) so it's going to be an expensive nib swap. You may well find a Century 2 with fine nib for a reasonable price second hand though.

Please note, I tried this swap because I own a Century 2 and Bailey, but there maybe some differences in the Beverley that I wouldn't know about.

There is another option, which would be to get your 'medium' nib modified to 'fine' by one of the nib repairers, could be much cheaper to have done.

I think Pendemoniums nib grinds, which would include going down to a Fine from a M nib, are $29, insured postage back included.

 

I don't know how much Beverly's are new but that is the least expensive grind I am aware of.

A picture would most likely help.
The ones that are currently available tend to be pretty obvious by their appearance.

 

No guarantee as Cross is OEMing these things from only they know where, some of these off the regular catalog may be unique.

 

Good luck.
