Parker Nib Exchange

[Mike 59]

Every Vector I have bought over many years has had a medium nib, so I bought a new Vector with the plan to send it in to have the nib swapped to a fine.

I sent it to Parker on 10 Jan 2017, and got it back on the 30 Jan.

Am very pleased with it, it writes how I had hoped for.

The nib had been tested as there was blue ink in the feed, plus a surprise was the fitting of a slide converter, marked 'Made in UK'.

It's the type of converter where the agitator inside is not a ball bearing but a steel tube type. (I could post a photo if asked.)

Also included one new Quink cartridge.

Nice that you got the F nib on your pen. Usually the Vector comes with M nib.

I got three F nibs complete with sections as gift from a vintage dealer that I buy my pens from. And a box full of carts. Both Parker and Sheaffer.

 

And, yes I have seen the slide converters with the steel tube type agitators. I may have a few fitted in my Vectors.

Good to hear that Parker are still offering this, even if there's only a fine option. Thanks for this update Mike.
