F Or Ef Nibs For Parker Rialto, Place Vendome, Etc.

Hi all. I've been off trying a variety of pens and in the end my hand still seems to like the weight and feel of the Parker Rialto (and Place Vendome and I think 88 -- isn't that basically the same pen) best. I have a few Rialtos that I got off eBay, but they're M nibs, as is just about every one of these that I find. I'm finding myself veering more and more toward F and EF nibs. I have smallish handwriting and often have to use less than ideal paper. Under those conditions, the F and EF nibs seem to work better for me. So my question is, where can I get F or EF nibs to replace the Ms on these pens? I see some on eBay but they're in the UK (I'm in the US, in DE) and I'm afraid that I'll get bad nibs that will then be too expensive to return. What do people who repair these pens use as a source?

All suggestions welcome!

Ebay search under pens and writing instruments of "ef parker rialto" brought up some fines. If you search for "parker rialto ef" you'll get all the M and other nibs.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
