Where Can I Buy Spare Calligraphy Nibs For A Parker Vector?

[fredqwerty]

I bought a Parker Vector Calligraphy set a few years ago and use it for writing everything.

 

I just the fine calligraphy nib.

 

I have recently lost the pen, which is easy enough to replace from the local stationary store but I can't find anywhere to get replacement nibs.

 

I have lost/ had pen damaged a couple of times and managed to buy a couple of nibs before but can't find anywhere now.

 

I have tried contacting Parker Pens but have had no reply.

 

Does anyone know anywhere on line were I can buy fine calligraphy nibs for the Parker Vector?

They come up every now and again on Ebay, but I haven't seen one recently (although I haven't looked either).

A year and a half ago I picked up a complete calligraphy set with a pen, a converter, a bunch of cartridges in different colors of ink, and which had 4 nib units (ranging from F italic to XB italic). You might do just as well getting one of the sets, because that way you'll get an extra pen out of the deal (I paid about $11.50 US + another $12 in shipping, but the set came in a very nice metal box and was probably too large for the standard size Priority Mail boxes). My set was made in the UK, but I've only used the F italic nib so far.
I think some of the sets I've seen were from Ebay seller streetfair; no affiliation other than I've bought stuff from there in the past with no issues -- in fact I just ordered a Vector "Looney Tunes Taz" pen and a converter as a gift for a friend (on the basis that she "needs" a Taz pen ).

Hope this helps.

I have ordered mine through my go-to B&M shop. Parker still supplies them. AFAIK you have choice from steel and gold nibs, even in different colours.
