Faber-Castell Osmia 61 (SM) with Stipula Calamo Sepia. The picture is from before I filled it completely because I love the way the ink window looks on this pen.

Solid writing setup, Doug.
If I had known years ago that a vintage Pelikan nib can be swapped with a modern one I had forgotten it until now. Is it the whole nib unit that can be replaced, or just the nib? I love the nib on my 400nn, and would love to get something similar on my (2016?) M200.

They'll swap fine but some 400NN nib units used a cheesy clear styrene plastic collar. Those probably shouldn't be removed as they can be cracked.
Below (not my pen) is one I helped repair.
Thanks. It doesn't look like I have the clear plastic collar on mine. Also, I plan to keep my 400nn intact, but I was thinking about trying to find a vintage replacement for my M200. The M200 is still a solid pen, and is perfectly acceptable as is, but I love vintage nibs with character.
This week's carry:

Remember to forget me!
For a while now, I have been sticking with the same three pens for home use. Two Parker IMs and a Baoer 388.
The grey blue IM has just run dry, and as I have just been refilling it without cleaning for a few fills, I'm going to give it a good flush and put it back in the drawer.
In its place, I'm bringing out the little blue Onto Tasche pocket pen, with a Diamine Recency Blue cartridge. I haven't used this pen for some time. The other two pens still have at least half a fill, Diamine Ochre in the Baoer, and Quink Black in the black IM.
As ever, I'll grab a ballpoint when I leave the house.
