MB nib unit removal tools

Hi,
The nib units are sealed in the section by MB, only in exceptional cases one can screw the nib unit out by hand.
Normally one needs a dedicated nib removal tool for eash nib size.
The nib removal tool engages in the 2 axial slots in the nib housing.
Note the "vintage" pens have axial slots at 9 and 3 o'clock, while on "modern" versions the slots are at 8 and 4 o'clock.
This implies one needs a different tool not only per nib size, but also different for modern & vintage pens.
I make these tools
Regards, Francis

Welkom Francis.
With your arrival, I have less and less excuses not to begin to buy vintages pens!
The right advices and the rights tools to repair. Nice :)
