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! Tery

I don't so much care what it's called; I just love the pen and want more of them. It was advertised as a Rialto made in the UK and it writes like a dream. I went to look for more of the same on ebay so I can have one to carry around as well as one or two to have at home, but all the Rialtos I see there have dark endcaps. The one I bought has gold endcaps. I'm attaching the only photo that came out even close to in focus. Let me know if I should take more.

My first decent fountain pen was a fine point Parker Place Vendome, in the 90s. I really liked the pen, but I've moved too many times and the pen got lost or stolen along the way. I no longer live near a place where I can try out a lot of pens. Since this pen is no longer made, can anyone suggest what might be a good replacement? Thanks! Tery
