Hi,

Should the clip and the crescent line-up when the pen is closed ?

Thanks.

They can if that's what you want -- just experiment with where you have to start putting it on. On mine, if I start the cap at "9 o'clock" (when the press crescent is at noon), the cap will turn 1 and 1/4 times around, lining up both crescents perfectly.

So it's all in where you start! HP

Did this pen come with a travelling inkpot and eyedropper filler ?
I can't seem to find any mention of these in connection with the Millennium Arc .

Thanks.

I have three of these pens, two blue and one red. Let me preface my comments by saying that I am an admitted Visconti fanatic. I love their pens and have always defended them. Having said that, the Millennium Arcs have been a vexation upon me. Both of my blue ones have broken locking rings and leaking sacs. They have both been previously repaired and the problem recurred. I love their size and weight and when functioning, I love the way they write.

IIRC mine did come with the "ink thingie", formally called the traveling ink pot.

BTW, I have not had any problem with the locking ring or ink sac on either of my Copernicus pens.

Thanks for responding.

Sorry to hear about your problems with the MA; hope you get it sorted.
Mine works perfectly, thankfully.

I bought both of mine new; neither came with an inkpot. No problems yet, but my oldest is six months old.
