Mightier than the sword?
I just had a minor disaster – one of my favorite fountain pens self-destructed. A nice, and expensive, Pelikan that I bought to celebrate winning the Hugo for FOREVER PEACE in Baltimore, in 1998. Joan Gordon talked me into buying it the next day!
An internal part fractured and it doesn't look easily, or at all, fixable. But I'll send it off to the Fountain Pen Hospital or the pen shop in Boston, and they should be able to replace the internal mechanism.
That model – that size! – is no longer made by Pelikan, unfortunately. I'm going to see whether the Bromfield Pen Shop in Boston might be able to do something.
(Meanwhile, I do have about thirty other currently working fountain pens, so I don't have to stop writing.)
