I feel your pain.

[KCat]

deep breaths. I'm sure this is not irreparable. Contact Kevin and ask what can be done and at what $.

 

i don't think there's a one of us here who hasn't dropped a pen and some of us have been fortunate to not break it, some not so fortunate.

 

you're not stupid. stuff happens.

 

best,

KCat

Very sad.

I remember last year I was in a meeting with my bank manager, and I dropped my beloved Esterbrook J (I know, is a cheapie, but I LOVE it), and I noticed that one of the 'jewels' was broken. :bonk: :bonk:

The manager went :

- Well, can you please sign here and here?

- WAIT, let me see if I can find the broken piece on the floor under your desk!!

- Now, please, sign here and he...

- WAIT, let me see if my pen writes well...!!

- Can you plea...

- WAIT, let me cry a bit...

 

 

By the way, the pen writes wonderfully, but the 'jewel' is still broken. To see my beloved Estie with a piece missing is sooo painful that I wasn't able to use it anymore...

Inhale... Exhale...

 

I'm sure either Kevin or a nibmeister can solve your problem without you spending too much.

 

It happens...

[Kelly]

Okay, just breathe...it will be okay. I remember when I dropped my Taccia and the cap exploded in 4 pieces...it was healed and your nib will be, too.

[tzmcneill]

My condolances on your loss. As others have said, contact Kevin and see if the nib can be replaced or repaired, it should be fairly straight forward. Again, my condolances.

 

tom.

I'm a bit puzzled by the title of your thread chupie... I know it's not a nice feeling to bend a nib, but it's not a reason to remove your vest... :blink:

 

[chupie]

Don't pick on me. I am distraught. <_<

 

 

And this board still needs a sobbing smiley icon.

I feel your pain Chupie...

 

I hope this one will suffice your sobbing needs:

To be very honest, I think a brand new nib will be much cheaper than having a Nibmeister work on it. You will not only spend more money but also ALOT of downtime too.

 

Kevin can hook you up and the replacement nibs are really not all that bank breaking.

Dillon is going to help me out. I know he does good work and fast so it will be fine. It really is a bummer though. 1 week. I only had it 1 lousy week. It's like when you break your favorite Christmas toy only a couple days after getting it.

[DrPJM1]

My condolences, Chupie.

A few years ago I dropped my beloved Tortoise 400, and John Mottisaw made it perfect once again.

Best wishes to you, and a speedy recovery for your Dani's fine nib.

[amin]

I too feel your pain, and I had a feeling Dillon would offer to help. Not quite the same, but I can still remember losing my first Pelikan the same day I bought it. I got home from the pen store and all I had clipped to my shirt was a cap . Hope Dillon can set things back the way they were. Good luck!

[Leigh R]

I feel your pain! I have dropped an MB 149, a Lamy Persona in Titanium and my Powerbook G4- not all in the same day, but with almost equal levels of shock and waaah. I hope your nib and you get better soon!

[Ann Finley]

Chupie, sorry to hear such bad news! Three cheers for Dillon for offering to help. Hope you're feeling a bit better already.

 

Best, Ann

The crying smilie has jagged teeth, and reminds me of a piranha. I am glad that Dillon will fix your pen.

Some years ago, I did the same thing with my Parker 75. I felt the same way.

 

Thanks to John Mottishaw, it was restored completely. Every time I use it I'm reminded of why I always liked it so much.

 

At that time, it was one of two or three fountain pens that I used almost daily. Now, well, it's one of a large and growing number.

[Stylo]

If it is any consolotation, I have dropped so many FPs, destroying some nibs and "modifying" others I have lost one or two, I have destroyed one or two by soaking them in alcohol . I have also crushed the cap of my chrome Targa when I dropped it in some classroom, and then pushed my chair forward to get closer to pick it up. Woops, the leg of the chair landed right on top of the cap end Or was that another pen's cap and I just stepped over the targa cap? :roflmho:
