149 F From A Left Hander To A Right?

[koukoutsi]

Hi all,

 

I have a Fine 95 149 that used to belong to a left hander.

When I use it, in order to be more smooth I have to rotere it (around the center axis) a bit on the right.

Nothing to crazy but im a bit wierd with the smoothness.

Right part of the nib is a nano millimetre higher. I assume this is from long term use by a left hander.

 

Should I genlty try to push on a pastic card or something to correct it?

My 146 is so smooth that even this little think gets me heheheh

 

Cheers

Sounds like a very minor and easy adjustment ... if you know what you‘re doing ;-)

 

If you don‘t, please don‘t.

 

Maybe some tine adjustmend and/or polishing of the tipping might do the trick.

 

Necessary tine adjustment sounds right especially when the tines already don’t look alligned.

 

Please don‘t press down with the nib for adjustment. Rather try to carefully „bend“ (slighty push up or down the individual tine). But again if you don‘t have any experience this easily does more damage.

 

Cheers

But it is a pen worth having it done ;-)

I've been through some micro heart-attacks for this same reason " gently push"
