So glad this will resolve well for you.

 

Seeking positive resolution is total win here. The pen is restored to intended purpose, and is in the hands of one appreciates it as a fine old writing instrument.

 

And, glad this forum exists for you to share and discern the best action.

 

Please share a writing sample once it's exchanged nib is installed?

Yes, the vendor seems to be a very cooperative person; an excellent characteristic indeed. Thanks for your help Cob.

Positive resolutions are almost always the most productive; it takes two to tango so I'm glad the vendor was willing to dance. I'm glad the forum exists too, the outside (and rare) perspective of more knowledgeable people is one I appreciate very much and I will most certainly provide a sample when it's all resolved. I have to say the very wide strokes from the images I uploaded were most likely the result of the cracks in the nib, which allowed it to flex more, so it won't have as much of a wow factor in that sense but we shall see. In the meantime thanks again.

      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
