ST Dupont Olympio

[speculator]

Good evening. I'm looking for recommendations for a source for Olympio nib sections.
Specifically, I'm looking for a gold Medium point, with a black grip- for an Olympio XL.

Many thanks in advance!

Have you contacted ST Dupont? Are you looking for the nib and feed or complete nib/feed/section? Do you have the part numbers? If not, drop ST Dupont an email and they can likely provide the part numbers. Also there are a couple eBay sellers liquidating old distribution channel stock (from when ST Dupont changed US distributors) and they may be able to help you.

Thank you, Jar!
I also wrote to Dupont. The section is fine; it's just that the point to too broad for me.

This is my 3rd Dupont pen, and I can see why they have such devotees! Beautifully made instruments.

If line width is the issue it might be less expensive, cheaper and easier to just get the nib you have adjusted by one of the many folk that modify nibs.

Nice review! I've got a new S T Dupont Liberte on order.. looking forward to it.

Is there a nib technician you recommend?

Is there a nib technician you recommend?

There are quite a few and the biggest issue is likely to be turn around time. I really like what John Mottishaw does but others to consider are Indy-PenDance, Dan Smith, Mike Masuyama, Pendleton Brown.

Grateful to report I was able to exchange the Broad nib section + $110.00, for a Medium, with ST Dupont in New York.

I chose to do this, instead of having the larger point ground-down at a lesser expense. (I haven't had very good experiences with ground points. They never feel quite right.)
The advantage to me, of course, is the pen writes beautifully and it's very satisfying.
