My Pelikan Grew A Tooth!

[adamselene]

Have you recently been started on medication for heartburn?

 

I have a similar problem showing up in Porsche race car drivers, who all of the sudden started blowing up their engines by missing shifts. We have tracked this down to cerebellar dysfunction caused by proton-pump inhibiting anti-acid medications.

 

Maybe the tooth is in your nervous system, and not in the pen?

 

(actually, I am at least 1% serious about this, and the blown Porsches were real).

Put it under your pillow at night and in the morning the tooth will be gone and, if you are very lucky, you will find a small coin in its place

Aww... Chris^ - my favorite answer so far.

 

Good luck to Djehuty on resolving the toothiness.

OP: have you removed the nib to clean the pen? Have you banged the nib, even "gently," on anything? Paper? Side of desk? Have you changed papers or inks?

 

 

I have a pen that used to be smooth develop a tooth because I was using it for quick notes and hit the tip of the nib frequently against the inner cap lip while capping it. I checked out my M600 and this seems possible to happen with the Pelikan cap as well. Could it be the cause?
