I recently had the pleasure of grinding a stub on a Bexley Submariner for a customer and he liked it so much he decided to send me 7 more of his pens to have worked on. Six of them needed to be ground into stubs, CI’s and italics, and the other just needed some adjustment to fix its’ inconsistent and dry flow. The pens pictured above starting with the green Sheaffer Balance II and moving clockwise are: Autumn Sheaffer Balance II, Bexley 56 Tibaldi, maroon Pelikan M250, black Pelikan M200, blue Pelikan M805, and a black Bexley Simplicity. The following photo shows the nibs before they were ground. Finally, there’s a photo of a writing sample. I have to say they all turned out great and it was a pleasure working on them. If you need a grind on one of your favorite pens let me know. I’d be more than happy to do it. My turn around time is 2-4 days.

Here are some before and after shots of the nib:

Finally, here is a writing sample for you enjoyment.  The first line was written using the medium nib that came with the pen.  The second line is the completed stub.  Both were written using Levenger Smokey.  The third line is the completed nib in Noodler’s La Couleur Royale.
