How does one change the nib of a Parker 75 Sterling Cisele and where does one get replacement nibs?

Other manufacturers Vintage pens / oldies FAQ entry

The nib of the Parker 75 is only plugged into the grip section and can be removed without problem by simultaneous pulling and turning along the longitudinal axis, without anything being damaged. Replacement nibs are difficult to obtain today; common standard widths are often sold out, and one frequently only finds exotic widths at high prices, e.g. via US eBay. An alternative is the purchase of a defective 75 for cannibalisation; here attention must be paid to the matching feed, since various variants existed. Repairs and nib exchange are offered, among others, by Thomas Watkinson as well as the Kontor SchreibTischKultur in Münster.
