Nib Crack On A 1930's Duofold Nib

[Hardy08]

Hi everyone!

 

I recently purchased a vintage Parker Duofold in a stunning bright Lapis Lazuli celluloid, an absolutely gorgeous pen.

 

When I deceided to take it apart for servicing and cleaning, I was disapointed to discover, hidden behind the section a large crack on the nib.

 

I have no competence for fixing this kind of problems, I live in France and would like to know if anyone knew serious nibmeisters in Europe.

 

A pic of the nib is attached.

 

 

Many thanks,

 

Jeremy

Alvaro Romillo looks like an expert nibmeister, based in Spain.

Hi

 

It might also be worth looking on the likes of eBay for a replacement nib, they do come up quite often and although they can be quite expensive often almost what you can get a complete pen for it might still be cheaper than having that nib repaired as that is a very long crack to be repaired successfully.

Romillo can do it, he has fixed a couple of cracks for me.

Thanks everybody for tour precious answers, I try to contact Romillo, and Will look forward ebay for spare nibs.
