Greetings,

I used to make hand made pens and was able to purchase montblanc replacement nib sets etc from places in Australia such as Pencraft.
I also used a roller refill in which I made al the rest of the pieces, and found the Parker refill to be excellent.
I was able to purchase these at a reduced cost in quantity...
I would suggest starting at a specialist pen supplier and depending on how many you wish to make, then take it form there.
I have also seen parts for pen making at woodworking shops and shows. This may be another avenue to consider, with places such as MIK or Timbecon in Australia being excellent.

Good Luck and Cheers, P
