Any help finding left handed oblique nibs (Pelikan)?

Question

Howdy!

I’ve just snagged an M200 for a song on eBay, and it got me thinking. One of the benefits of Pelikan is how easy it is to swap their nibs and feeds, and the M200 uses relatively low cost steel nibs, so this might be a good platform for trying out obliques.

I’m left handed, and I hold my pen in my left hand facing outward. I have no idea which nib that means I should get (left foot oblique? Right foot oblique? Is relief just an esterbrook thing?).

I’m also unsure where I would look for such a thing. I know Pelikan used to make oblique nibs, did they make both side obliques? Do they still? Would I buy this from Pelikan directly?

Or should I just buy a broad nib and send it to a nibmeister (I would need recommendations for this as well, lol)?

Thanks in advance for your help on this neat little project! :)
