Can a Pelikan medium nib on a 625 be reground to a broad stub?

I've found that I like broader lines, but I can't buy an all rhodium plated nib to replace that on my 625. I'd always heard that Pelikan's tended toward a bolder line--I don't think that's true (at least on the two I own).

Gosh, I think you'd have to define what a broad stub is for you. To me, anything more than .8mm is broad. In which case, sure. But to others 1.2+ might be broad therefore, probably not. Also, the obvious, depends on the original tipping and I've got a *Fine* that writes about at least .7mm standard line. The Fine from my blue 400 was ground to a .6mm stub (probably a fine-to-medium by most standards) and by looking at it, it is obvious that the nib grinder had room to spare and could have gone with a broader stub if I had wanted it.

Check John Mottishaw's site for specs. I doubt a medium could be turned into a broad stub. However, he can re-tip the nib then turn it into a stub. It might be less expensive to just buy another nib that is already a broad stub. Pelikans would be great pens even if their nibs were not so easy to change. That they are so easy to change makes them stupendously great pens.
