Some seal in my pen broke and ink leaks out around where I hold it. It's disappointing, but I'm unlikely to travel around the world to fix it! I'd happily ship it to them and take my chances on getting it back, because it's not like I can use it right now anyway.
Unfortunately, though, I also developed a fondness for stone paper, and apparently that doesn't pair well with fountain pens.
- bayindirh 2y agoWhat’s the brand/model? Maybe you can find the part and replace it. Stone paper is a very fine sand paper in practice. Eats fountain pen nibs.
- smeej 2y agoI don't know how I'd find out. It isn't marked. I picked it up for 10€ in France almost 20 years ago, and while it's my favorite pen I've ever written with, I don't hand write things enough that I ever got really into pens such that I could figure it out. I would need the pen hospital to identify what kind of fixing it needed.
- bayindirh 2y agoYou can share a photo of it with me, or there's a forum called fountainpennetwork (https://www.fountainpennetwork.com https://www.fountainpennetwork.com). They're friendly and knowledgeable bunch. You can ask them.
