Grifos Repair


avalonww

Recommended Posts

Hello all - This is my first time in any forum, so please forgive me if I do something incorrectly. I am wondering if anyone knows of a pen repair shop that might be able to fix my very favourite Grifos fountain pen. It is a celluloid and sterling pen, with the sterling being the broken portion. I unscrewed it to check the ink supply in the converter, and when I put it back together something popped and the parts would no longer screw together. I spoke with a couple of different repair places and they all said that they wouldn't be able to get parts for the pen. I am trying to avoid having to send it back to Italy for repairs, as I could probably purchase a new pen more inexpensively. But this is my favourite. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, welcome home. Pull up a stump and set a spell. The best course is to send it back to Grifos for repair. Contact member stubnib here before you send it and ask Maurizio if there are other options.

Welcome Avalonww,

 

I'm sure someone knowledgeable about Grifos repair will weigh in shortly, but I just wanted to say 'Welcome' from a fellow Texan. Ron Zorn, one of the moderators here should be able to help you.

 

In the meantime, there's a plethora of info in these forums. Look around, it's worth the time.

 

Cheers-

 

Clayton

I have a Grifos Art Deco and the nib and the feed are stuck in the cap. I cannot get them out (the converter will pull out). Does anyone have any ideas? I have not used it heavily but I've had the pen for about 10 years and it has been a good camper until now.

 

I have not abused or dropped the pen at all. It just suddenly was stuck when I tried to ink it. It had been out of rotation for about 6 or 8 months.

      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
