I know it's the Bic company but I need a replacement for a medium nib - modern balance. The things are scarce as hen's teeth. Can one buy from Bic ??

thanks all

If you're in a pinch, I think the sections from No Nonsense pens will fit. Cheap and worth a try! (if you're desperate)

Also, Vanness Pen Shop in Little Rock has Balance II's. (Gold only, not two-tone)

Bill-

There are still Balance writing units in Ft. Madison.
Call Michele at 1-800-FINEPEN and buy one from Sheaffer.
I'm pretty sure she'll sell you one.

Thanks Sheaffer USA - but the 800 number won't work from Canada - would you have the business number of Ft. Madison. Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks in advance
