Fountain Pen Return Policy

Fountain pens are special, and once filled, they are difficult to resell upon return. When purchasing a fountain pen, it is recommended that you test it by dipping the nib in ink. If you use the supplied cartridges or fill it with ink, we must send the pen to the manufacturer's repair facility to resell it. We want to ensure all our customers receive a brand-new, unused pen. Therefore, we charge a nominal 20% restocking fee to cover repair and shipping costs to the manufacturer's repair center. These pens are then resold in our outlet store. Please note that the restocking fee applies only to fountain pens that have been filled with ink. If you have any questions, please contact us.

Unlock a whole new dimension of calligraphic flair and writing comfort with the Leonardo Accessories Steel Elastic Replacement Nib. Designed and engineered in Italy by Leonardo Officina Italiana, these standalone replacement units allow collectors to effortlessly transform or refresh their favorite Leonardo fountain pens. Whether you want to swap out a damaged nib or upgrade a standard round fine/medium to a highly expressive writing style, these factory-original accessory units provide a seamless, perfect fit.

The defining hallmark of this series is the specialized "Elastic" geometry. Unlike rigid standard steel nibs, Leonardo's Elastic nibs feature precise, strategic cutouts along the sides of the nib body. This physical modification gives the high-grade stainless steel a springy, responsive "flex" behavior. Under light writing pressure, the tines open smoothly to create beautiful, dynamic line variation, snapping back immediately when pressure is released. It brings the romance and character of vintage flex-pen writing into a reliable, modern steel format that is ideal for expressive correspondence, sketching, and artistic journaling.

Available in both Elastic Extra Fine (EEF) and Elastic Fine (EF) tipping sizes, these premium nib units are offered in two distinct finishes to perfectly match your pen's existing hardware. Choose the polished Silver finish for a clean, contemporary look that pairs with rhodium or palladium trim, or select the radiant Gold plated finish to complement warm, classic gold-plated appointments. Each nib comes pre-assembled in its official threaded housing with a high-performance ABS feed, making installation as simple as unscrewing your old section and screwing in the new one.

✨ Signature Features

  • Responsive Elastic Flex Architecture: Engineered with signature side cutouts that give the steel plate an elastic, cushioned spring, allowing for effortless line variation under pressure.

  • Complete Modular Nib Unit: Comes pre-mounted inside an authentic Leonardo threaded collar with an aligned ABS feed for safe, quick, and hassle-free tool-free installation.

  • Stunning Dual-Finish Options: Available in premium gold-plated or high-polish silver stainless steel configurations to perfectly coordinate with your fountain pen's trim.

  • Artistic Line Expression: Offered in Elastic Extra Fine and Elastic Fine sizes, serving as the ultimate upgrade for copperplate shorthand, modern calligraphy, or ink shading.

  • Authentic Factory Part: Produced directly in Italy by Leonardo Officina Italiana, ensuring 100% genuine compatibility, strict quality control, and authentic laser engravings.

 Why Upgrade to a Leonardo Elastic Nib?

The Leonardo Accessories Elastic Nib is the perfect investment for fountain pen enthusiasts who want to maximize the utility of their existing collection. Instead of buying an entirely new pen, swapping in an Elastic unit completely redefines your writing experience. It eliminates the stiffness often associated with modern steel writing instruments, providing a soft, cushioned bounce that absorbs hand fatigue during long writing sessions while making your favorite shading and sheening inks pop on the page.

"To install your new Leonardo Elastic nib, simply ensure your pen is completely clean and empty of ink, grasp the old nib and feed firmly near the base with a soft rubber grip, and unscrew the entire housing counter-clockwise. When writing with your new Elastic unit, remember that line variation comes from downward pressure on the downstroke only. Avoid pressing sideways or forcing the tines past their natural point of resistance to protect the metal from springing. A gentle, rhythmic touch is all it takes to bring classical Italian script to life."
