Nib Repair, Adjustment,
and Customization
 
Nib repair
 
We specialize in repairing, tun­ing, and modi­fy­ing nibs on all brands of pens.
NIBARAMA

Handcrafted Specialty Nibs: We have a wide ar­ray of Richard’s spec­ial­ty nibs: need­le­points, italics, and other “interest­ing” shapes for most Peli­kan Souv­erän and Tra­di­tion pens and for the Pi­lot Van­ish­ing Point.

Repair and Restoration
 
Fountain pen before restoration
We restore fountain pens that are damaged as well as those that are mere­ly worn and tired. We work on all brands, vintage and modern, and we are a Sheaffer’s Author­ized Re­pair Cen­ter for vin­tage fount­ain pens.

Arrow  This week, we expect to be work­ing most­ly on pens that ar­rived dur­ing the week of . Pens arriving this week should return in about weeks. (See note on our Repair & Restoration page.)
Restored Vintage Fountain Pens
 
As we work on clients’ pens, we also re­store a few pens that we have pur­chased and of­fer them for sale in our month­ly “Pen Show Tray.” Most of these are vin­tage pens, but there’s some­times a mod­ern in there, too.

We also buy restorable vintage pens for resale.
Esterbrook Renew-Point Nibs

We have a small stock of Renew-Point nibs. Most are New Old Stock (NOS); we test and ad­just those that are not NOS to be sure they are in work­ing order.

 
We do not have any Renew-Point nibs ex­cept the ones we list, but our stock does change as we dis­cov­er new sup­plies, so it makes sense to check back from time to time.
Accessories and Books

To enhance the pleasure of your pens, we offer a few re­lated items; and in our Read­er’s Cor­ner we list sug­ges­tions for your read­ing plea­sure.

About Us

Greyhound Placement Service of NHAt heart, we are a family business — but things have grown so much that we’ve adopted a few unrelated people into the RichardsPens.com family.

Part of family is sharing each other’s concerns. One of the things we share with our daughter Kate is her love for greyhounds. Retired racing greyhounds make wonderful pets; owners refer lovingly to them as “45-MPH couch potatoes.” If you love dogs, consider helping Greyhound Placement Service of New Hampshire (or an adoption agency in your area).

Clients’ Comments and Art Gallery

Among the nicest things we receive from our clients are notes of thanks. On our Clients’ Comments page you will find some of the email messages we’ve received about our work. Sometimes these notes are accompanied by, or are themselves, lovely works of art. You will find some of our clients’ artwork on our Art Gallery page.

Come See Us at a Pen Show!

Show bannerOver the next year, I will be regrinding nibs and diagnosing nib ailments for walk-up clients at the shows listed below. (The yellow highlight marks the next upcoming show.) Barbara will manage the sales end of our table and keep track of whose pens I’ll be working on. Look for our banner (shown to the right) on the wall over our table. We hope to see you there!

Please read our “Table Talk” FAQ to learn how we operate at a show.

If you have pens that need other work, bring them along with you — we’ll be happy to give them a free ride to the Nashua Pen Spa.
