Those three pens, from my 'pre-broad nib' era, are not vintage pens. I'm sorry I should have mentioned this in my original post.

Of course, if your pens are vintage with great sentimental attachment, this wouldn't be the course for you. It could be the best way of trying them out? You'd likely break even, give or take a few quid. I'd sell one and buy a replacement used 146 which already has your desired nib. Still a lot of work to go through and still expensive (for my wallet) If Montblanc are charging you for a new nib, could you not remove your current nib and send them the rest of the pen, to recieve the new nib? Edited Novemby osnofianĪ good used 146 or 149 nib is worth money, often seen for sale on xbay etc. Minuskin's work, like I did before on this forum, for smaller sized nibs and in particular very fine points. Note: I am referring just to retipping of nibs to broad/extra broad points. I don't have the said pen anymore, otherwise I would post a few pics and writing samples. No point in having a beautiful nib that doesn't write as it should.Īll my other customs were always perfect, wet and smooth (Mottishaw, Masuyama and Binder). I just think that a pen is something you want to write with (especially if you are customising a nib). The big difference is that you do those yourself, something I do not have the time/tools/know-how to do. You also agree that the feed needs adjustments. I do agree his work in re-tipping is of excellent quality and precision, and that the final results are very beautiful. Interesting! It would seem we agree in almost every statement you made. If I had an MB that needed a retip, he would be the first person I would contact. His work was some of the most beautiful I have ever seen. I would have no fear of taking macro pictures of the very tips of the nibs he tipped, making them very large, and framing them. I did the final adjustments of the feed and other things in my shop, but his work was very beautiful. I always used him for retips when I needed them for both my pens and my customer's pens. I do recommend him for the retipping, but I'd leave the feed modifications to someone else. If you want an extremely dry 1.0mm nib, I have a pen for you He re-tipped the nib alright, but the feeder is the same from before, and definitely doesn't keep up with the cursive nib I got on it. Minuskin's work for this sort of job, I did it once, with a non montblanc pen, but the bottom line is.

The problem is with all those shipping charges between US and Turkiye and plus the cost of Mr.Minuskin's work it may well be up to the point Montblanc has quoted. I've heard that Greg Minuskin could do a fine work on re-tipping the nib.

I wish I was in that 6-weeks time period of free exchange but my pens are all too old for that. In the US, you could use Greg Minuskin or John Mottishaw.

I've no experience with MB, but I think they will swap for free within a short time after purchase of a new pen after that, you pay a lot.įor much less, you could send your pens to a nibmeister who will retip them in the sizes you want.
