Calling Fountain Pen Experts

[jimmyc]

the damage is right on the tip unfortunately

That's unlucky, I've dropped my safari a few times on wood flooring with no damage.
If I was replacing the nib I would go with a fine one. I have medium and my writing is quite small.
Or a medium pen and fine nib, or 2 new pens one of each, or 3 pens medium, fine and extra fine.
Yep I have very little impulse control. I spent a week's wages on a camera over Christmas.
Although I had been researching them for the best part of a year.

Sorry to hear about your pen Russell. Despite how careful we are these things can and do happen. I dropped a really nice pen (not saying lamys are not, I have a few) and low and behold the nib took the brunt. I've tried to fix it myself with the help of YouTube.

Hopefully you will get used to your new pen, welcome to the fountain pen community.

I am pleased to report the new Nib arrived (Along with the new pen , but that is another story !). and having fitted it all is well and the pen is back to writing beautifully , I went for a Fine Nib instead of Medium this time and I like that too.

Thanks every one , I nee dto be more careful with it
