I sat my Etruria 991 inside a book and that's right it landed on its nib tip and one of the tines is bent back 90 degrees. I had close calls like this so it serves me right for pushing my luck. It just rolled off and I couldn't catch it in time.

So now what can I do. I think the nib tine is bent too far back. It's one of the Stipulas that you can unscrew the nib just like a Pelikan so it's easy enough to ship out and get fixed or replaced. How much do you think this will cost me?

Ouch!
Don't know exactly, but I'd guess a new nib will cost somewhere between $125-150, but that's just my guess.

Hi,

Sorry to hear it. I killed a Pelikano (Sarah) this way, but revived her... and no, I didn't drop her. I dipped her into my ink bottle and accidentally pressed her down, effectively bending the nib 100 degrees. I ended up straightening her nib. What a mess! 30º is enough already. Well, she writes still, but better than she did originally.

Oh dear....So sorry, Centurion

A new nib will cost something north of $100.00. I can almost certainly repair the nib, probably for about $25.00 to $30.00.

Hi,

I can also do it. Just decide who. I know Richard Binder does a good job on this. Excellent in fact, but so far, I have fixed a good number of these things and am relatively experienced. I will do it for a flat rate of $25 which includes all shipping. I can almost certainly repair it, but whether you choose Richard or me, you know you are going to get if fixed--well--to perfection.

Hi,

It was a joy working with you. Take Care. I hope you like the nib.
