NIB PHOTOS AND REPAIRS

A Difficult Nib Repair, But Worth It!

One Does Not See a Mont Blanc #12 Nib That Often

One Does Not See a Mont Blanc #12 Nib That Often

I receive about 7-10 Waterman’s #10 nibs for repair in a calendar year, and some of these nibs are really in bad shape!

This nib had massive body cracks (luckily not in the imprint!) and needed a retip as well.

Came out pretty good and another rare nib has now been saved by my workshop!
