Since the Noblesse 1122 (1978–1980) was a model of the cheaper class and has not been produced for over 25 years, it is understandable that Montblanc no longer keeps replacement nibs. Economically, a repair is anyway seldom sensible, since a well-preserved replacement device is often cheaper to obtain on eBay than any repair flat rate. A lifetime warranty on writing instruments of this price class is also unrealistic with other manufacturers and is hardly granted even on significantly higher-quality products. Anyone nevertheless wishing to have it repaired can turn to specialised writing-instrument workshops.
