Bespoke Nib Modifications
I would like to offer custom nib work on Pelikan M1000 and Montblanc 149 [vintage from 1980s]. I can also work with other brands on a case-by-case basis. See my YouTube video of the two nibs. I can honestly tell you that these nibs are the peak of writing pleasure. Please see me at one of the pen shows to try one of my nibs.
Price varied by specific work.

If interested, please reach out to @DrShakMD on Instagram. I will make these to order, and sometimes there is some wait time to get a pen/nib for modifications. Generally, it should have it done within a week.
Best regards,
Disclaimer: I do these modifications independently and have no brand affiliation. I do not represent any brands and do not endorse any specific brands. This should not be confused with an official representation. The pens I sell are purchased by myself, are used, and do not come with a warranty.
Also, I am not in competition with any other service providers. I am a fountain pen enthusiast first and foremost.
Please be advised that I make these nibs on a per-order basis. I communicate with the purchaser throughout the process, in order to make absolutely sure they know what they are getting. I pay individual attention to every customer, and every nib I work on is tailored to the request. Thus, I am not able to take returns as a general rule, absent very rare circumstances such as being lost in transit.
Taking returns makes my service into an Amazon-like situation. The many, many hours that I spend on making each ordered nib possible is precious time away from my family in between my work shifts. I will, however, work with my customers to ensure they get 100% what they ask for. If my customer needs to tweak the nib they receive, I will gladly do that if they ship the pen back to me. I will generally only charge shipping.
Please beware that using flex nibs requires learning. If the nib is splayed out of sorts due to improper use, I may be unable to return it to its original condition.
Thank you much for understanding.
Shak MD
