I have a sheaffer 300 SGC Glossy Blue barrel with a medium nib. I have no major complaints about this pen it writes very well. Pen is also a bit heavy with the cap on but it has a sturdy clip which is a good feature for me.

 

My question is : Can the nib be replaced with a fine or extra fine nib?

My second question : Where can I get the fine nib?

 

PS: I live in Australia!

 

The standard medium nib is quite thick. It is a very smooth pen and has lots of ink flow. However I cannot write the subscripts on equations without over-sizing my handwriting.

The nib section is available as a unit from Sheaffer. You should be able to order it from an Australian authorized dealer. Stylo.ca lists them as a chrome or two tone for $25 Canadian.

Thanks for your help. I bought my pen from Meyer. They don't have this fine nib unfortunately.

 

Can anyone from Australia help me locate a suitable company that might have this in stock?
