Help! I dropped the pen

[penworrymaster]

I've seen some people dropped their pen nib first, with the nib pointing down. So, does dropping the pen with nib first but on its side damages it? I was holding the pen in writing position (45°, triangular grip), then the pen slipped out of my hand (about 1" [inch] high). The nib fell onto the book laterally (on its side). This is my GRAIL pen, so I am quite emotional to determine if there's some damage--hence, I'm am not sure if the writing of the pen change--I dont have a loupe to check it out. But as far as I evaluation, there is no remarkable changes in writing of the pen. So do you think I should send the pen to a nibmeister or not? Thank you. Here are some pictures I took:

I can't see anything wrong either. How does it feel when you write with it? If it still feels OK, and the ink flows as it should, I think you can stop worrying.

it feels wetter. or perhaps flushing the pen often widens the nib/feed?

[pen lady]

Not usually, but there might be some residual water in the system that's diluting your ink, making it ''wetter''.

Dropping a fountain pen 1 inch on a book, which is a relatively soft surface, would normally not affect the nib. That has happend to me many times, and I have never noticed a difference in writing afterwards. From the photos, I can't see any damage, so if I were you, I wouldn't worry
