Repair and Customization Price List
 

We specialize in nib modifications and repairs. We also offer  limited 
pen body repair services if nib work is also being done.  Please call us first
before sending in your pen or nib.

If you make a  purchase, new or pre-owned, it can be customized prior
to shipping with a one to two day turnaround – consult the chart below for pricing.  Pens and nibs purchased from us within the past six months will be
customized on a rush basis (approximately two week turnaround) at no additional cost. Normal customization fees apply.

All repairs will be subject to a $30.00 assessment and evaluation fee.
This also applies to all customizations of pens and nibs not purchased
from us within the past six months.  The standard turnaround time
for these repairs and customizations is seven months. Work can be
done on a rush basis (approximately two week turnaround) – this
doubles the cost of all fees.

Please feel free to call us with any questions, and we  look forward
to making your pen write as good..and probably better…than it ever
did out of the box.
