Eversharp Gold Seal Nib - Spare Part


penjog

Recommended Posts

Hallo,

 

I own some Eversharp Dorics, few with Gold Seal nibs.

In one of them the nib has a horizontal crack in the heart hole aeria. The replacement nib I bought on a stock exchange no longer has a good Iridium writing grain.

Since my pens should be ready for writing, I am looking for a Gold Seal nib in good condition.

Something to look at, which delights the heart:

Hello Hansjürgen,

 

I do not know where you can find another nib; however, I strongly suggest you isolate the red Doric. Keep it away from these and any other pens. It appears to have the Doric Disease.

You are right. It's repaired an the experts are not afraid that gases will cause infection.

 

According to a friend (plastic chemist), we do not know what causes the destruction. This light red-brown Doric is the only one showing this degeneration. All other opaques are stable.

 

Thank you for your concern

Hallo Fred,

 

Thank you for this supplementary information.

I am still checking whether and at what price a repair is possible in Germany.

Postage and taxes make the nibs very expensive for me.

Hansjurgen:

 

For your consideration try contacting Pablo and Esther at Fountain Pen Nibs re welding of your cracked Wahl-Eversharp nib.

Thank you, Fred,

 

I've found a german expert to do the nib repair - hopefully to get a useable nib again.

Hallo Fred,

 

do you know a book about Wahl-Eversharp like the book from Davis / Lehrer about Waterman?

Thank you Fred for your hints.

 

I will gladly examine them and try to get an insight - and perhaps report here.

      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
