Just wondering if other owners are experiencing worn grooves on the ink window from the cap threads. Obviously the cap isn't coming to rest dead centre on the barrel. The scratches are quite deep on one side of the ink window and I expect will become a weakness in time if the cap keeps biting into the ink window. I've known about this for a long while but just wonder if anyone else is experiencing this. I'd be slightly put off sending it in because I was without a Homo Sapiens for 5 months when that was returned to Italy.

I have one currently, although it is just about to leave me via the classifieds. This has not been a shared problem. Sorry!

Mine definitely has this problem. Doesn't bother me as much as the lack of alignment between cap/body/filler cap though... but I still love the pen!

Are the worn grooves quite deep? They are on mine, it's much more than simple scuffing that's common on Pelikan pens. I just wonder in time if the pen may snap at that point. I'm undecided whether to send it back to Visconti at the moment, although I expect that I probably will.

I wouldn't say it's very deep, no, just scuffing. I get the same sort of scufffing on my M800 too, so it's not like it's exclusive to this pen.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
