A friend has a Swan fountain pen in the family that needs re-saccing.

 

Does anyone know of a good repair person who could possibly do this for them? They are in the Edinburgh/Glasgow-ish part of Scotland. (I realize the whole concept of E/G part is going to strike strangely - what I mean is that they could easily get to a pen person in either city, or any place near either city.) Failing that, who would be the best person to send this pen to by mail, if it's got to go that way?

 

Thank you very much. I treasure the friend, the friend treasures the pen, any help is appreciated.

I suggest you contact Eric Wilson through his website or email: eckiefump@googlemail.com.

He does a lot of first-class pen repairs for many UK FPN members and comes highly recommended. He lives in Edinburgh too.

Yesterday is history.

Tomorrow is a mystery.

Today is a gift.

That's why it's called the present

      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
