Hello all!
 

Well, this nib repair was a huge challenge, and it took some doing to "graft" in the missing pieces, plus repair the various fracturing cracks both in the body and towards the tail of this rare Mont Blanc #12 nib.

 

See the "Before and After" photos.

Great work, Greg! Any idea how the nib was broken / carved like that?
