Didn't know there was such a thing! Why would it be different than a regular nib? Wouldn't the ink still flow down the center of the nib onto the paper. I'm not trying to be funny - just, as a left-hander, I'm curious. I've never even considered the possibility. I don't use fountain pens due to a tendancy to put my hand in the ink before it dries!
 
As far as I know there is no one making a left handed nib... there are nib masters that will tune your nib to make it write better if you are left handed...
Take a look at a few of these sites... you might want to email them for some information
http://www.richardspens.com/ .. Richard is considered one of the masters of tuning nibs..
http://www.nibs.com/ ... John is another good source

Here is a good article on Fountain Pens for Lefties from Richard Binder' site

Ditto to Tom. I would suspect you would want one of Anthony's fancy smooth writing nibs for your final product however. Let me know if you do it, how it works, and how much $ it ends up totalling. I am a lefty that seems to have a jekyl/hyde relationship with my nibs. I have always wanted to try a lefty ground one. I do know that lamy makes a cheaper left hand nib and Anthony modified a couple of them with wood skins over the plastic bodies. It might save you some dough.
