So my trusty Hemisphere fell on the floor (uncapped, yes I know

) and the nib got whacked pretty bad. What can I do? Can the nib be repaired or replaced?
Thanks.

You can order a new nib from you national Waterman service center. Not that expensive.

The same thing happened to me when my Hemisphere was less than 1 month old. In Australia there are few shops that carry replacement parts, certainly none in Canberra. So I bent the nib back as best I could with some jeweller's pliers. The funny thing is that it wrote like a nightmare the right way up, but when writing with the nib upside down, it worked beautifully. About 12 months later I finally made my way to Sydney and got a replacement nib. Although it writes great, it took me a while to adjust to using the pen the right way around.

I can't go too long without it so I just kinda bent it back somewhere near normal. The good news... it writes, kinda like an italic though. The bad news... it's ugly as sin!
I'm still trying to connect with the Canadian supplier.
