Hey all,

Does anyone have any recommendations for guides or just plain old
advice for what I would need to do to maintain antique or new old
stock nibs? I know that I take basic precautions, like making sure
that the nibs are cleaned after use, but I was curious if anyone else
had any guides or advice that might extend beyond the normal, "Make
sure you clean your nibs," advice, which is pretty broad.



The only thing I can think of is that you might want to test
one of the firearm metal protectants on a cheap replaceable
nib. Something like tuff-glide...then again most of these are
"water displacing" it comes in a "tough-cloth" package but is a
little pricey for something that may make your nibs unusable.
