Nib Exchange Program
If you are not entirely satisfied by the nib of your fountain pen, you may request a nib exchange to better suit your individual writing style.
Fountain Pen Nibs
If within 28 days of purchase, you realize that the nib of your fountain pen is not entirely suited to your writing style, Parker offers you the complimentary benefit of exchanging it for any nib of the same value, provided it is undamaged and in excellent condition.
