Just purchased a nice blue stone-washed Kaweco AL Sport fountain pen. Was surprised to discover that the cap does not post very securely to the barrel. Was wondering if anyone else experienced that problem?

I wonder if the stone washing caused this problem. I have AL Sports, not stone washed and mine post just fine

My Stone Washed Kaweco posts fine as well.

 

Does it not post securly with a small amount of pressure? Perhaps you need to contact Kaweco customer services. If this is a new purchase, maybe contact the seller about the issue.

Wanted to thank everyone who posted comments in response to my question. I have sent the referenced Kaweco stoned wash fountain pen back to the retailer for replacement. I am quite fond of the Kaweco brand and have several of them, including another AL Sport model. All the others post well. The stone washed version I received posts okay initially but after you write with it, it gets loose.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
