Eversharp Gold Seal Nib - Spare Part


penjog

Recommended Posts

Hallo,

 

I own some Eversharp Dorics, few with Gold Seal nibs.

In one of them the nib has a horizontal crack in the heart hole aeria. The replacement nib I bought on a stock exchange no longer has a good Iridium writing grain.

Since my pens should be ready for writing, I am looking for a Gold Seal nib in good condition.

Something to look at, which delights the heart:

Hello Hansjürgen,

 

I do not know where you can find another nib; however, I strongly suggest you isolate the red Doric. Keep it away from these and any other pens. It appears to have the Doric Disease.

You are right. It's repaired an the experts are not afraid that gases will cause infection.

 

According to a friend (plastic chemist), we do not know what causes the destruction. This light red-brown Doric is the only one showing this degeneration. All other opaques are stable.

 

Thank you for your concern

Hallo Fred,

 

Thank you for this supplementary information.

I am still checking whether and at what price a repair is possible in Germany.

Postage and taxes make the nibs very expensive for me.

Hansjurgen:

 

For your consideration try contacting Pablo and Esther at Fountain Pen Nibs re welding of your cracked Wahl-Eversharp nib.

Thank you, Fred,

 

I've found a german expert to do the nib repair - hopefully to get a useable nib again.

Hallo Fred,

 

do you know a book about Wahl-Eversharp like the book from Davis / Lehrer about Waterman?

Thank you Fred for your hints.

 

I will gladly examine them and try to get an insight - and perhaps report here.

      Thanks for the info (I only used B&W film and learned to process that).   Boy -- the stuff I learn here!  Just continually astounded at the depth and breadth of knowledge in this community! Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      >Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color,<   I'm sure they were, and my answer assumes that. It just wasn't likely to have been Kodachrome.  It would have been the films I referred to as "other color films." (Kodachrome is not a generic term for color film. It is a specific film that produces transparencies, or slides, by a process not used for any other film. There are other color trans

      @Ceilidh -- Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color, not just B&W like I learned to process.  Whether they were doing the processing of the film themselves in one of the darkrooms, or sending their stuff out to be processed commercially?  That I don't actually know, but had always assumed that they were processing their own film.

      Kodachrome 25 was the most accurate film for clinical photography and was used by dermatologists everywhere. I got magnificent results with a Nikon F2 and a MicroNikkor 60 mm lens, using a manually calibrated small flash on a bracket. I wish there were a filter called "Kodachrome 25 color balance" on my iPhone camera.
