Full Version: Exchanging nibs, doing a swap...

Does anyone have any idea if there is a site out there for exchanging nibs? Do repair people operate a sort of exchange system? For example, I have a very nice Sheaffer Lifetime Flat Top with a FINE nib in immaculate condition. I love the pen, but would prefer a medium stub or flexible nib. The best solution would appear to be to do a swap or something. Anyone got any clues?

Thanks, Nick (London)

Nick,

Try The Pen Practice

Dr Oldfield is VERY helpful and has swapped Parker 51 nibs for me.
