F Or Ef Nibs For Parker Rialto, Place Vendome, Etc.

[teryg93]

Hi all. I've been off trying a variety of pens and in the end my hand still seems to like the weight and feel of the Parker Rialto (and Place Vendome and I think 88 -- isn't that basically the same pen) best. I have a few Rialtos that I got off eBay, but they're M nibs, as is just about every one of these that I find. I'm finding myself veering more and more toward F and EF nibs. I have smallish handwriting and often have to use less than ideal paper. Under those conditions, the F and EF nibs seem to work better for me. So my question is, where can I get F or EF nibs to replace the Ms on these pens? I see some on eBay but they're in the UK (I'm in the US, in DE) and I'm afraid that I'll get bad nibs that will then be too expensive to return. What do people who repair these pens use as a source?

All suggestions welcome!

Ebay search under pens and writing instruments of "ef parker rialto" brought up some fines. If you search for "parker rialto ef" you'll get all the M and other nibs.
