Hi All.

I am looking for:

Medium Size Platinum Finish Fountain Pen Nib Assembly in Extra Fine
Platinum Finish "Ring" Section (see attached picture)

I believe the Model Number will be 40725. It is for the ST Dupont Olympio/Orpheo 480403 Placed Metal Platinum Medium Fountain Pen.

If anyone can provide assistance in locating one, I would really appreciate it.

Regards,

Neil

I have been looking for that for a long time. They do not exist. It was not made in an XF. at dupontlighters.com I found an Olympio nib assembly in XF, but it did not match and wrecked the pen's balance.

But I have a solution: send the nib to Richard Binder at richardspens.com He ground mine down to an italic XF and it is wonderful. IT was also cheaper than a new nib assembly.

Good luck.

Neil,

I remember you posted about this a while ago...I think it was the first time I heard about an EF nib being available for the Orpheo!

I contacted my local Dupont distributor about this and they confirmed that the EF nib section does exist. The sales rep was very nice and ordered in one for me as a nib exchange onto my pen. There was no cost involved. I was completely blown away by the customer service, so you may want to try your luck.

However all that said, it did take almost 3 months to arrive.

Hi Feiye.

I did previously contact the ST Dupont dealers directly and they were willing to exchange my M nib assembly for an XF. One problem however, they now make the pen in a Palladium finish not Platinum. My pen is the Platinum finish and I didn't want to change the Nib assembly to Palladium. The Service Technician told me he could not tell the difference between the the two but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I will probably take Curioti's advise and get it Binderized. By the way, I agree with you that the Service people are very nice. The only problem is there stock levels. They have another nib of mine waiting for exchange for the last three months or so and as of last week (24-Sept-2008), they still didn't get their stock from France! I am sure it will get better in time though, as they only recently took over the Distributorship.

Regards,

Neil

P.S. If you didn't know they made XF, you might be surprised to find out they also do Stubs (ST) and Obliques.
