Here's the broken top jewel...
You can see the bottom jewel is busted up in this photo...
So, on May 14th this pen was introduced into my shop. Just three days later it's all fixed up and ready to serve for many more years to come!
Here it is in all its glory! What a beautiful pen!
Check this out! This pen is fitted with an awesome 9314-B - Broad Stub Nib! When I first got this nib for tuning it wrote pretty nasty. Actually, how most of the Esterbrook nibs write before I tune them. It was very dry, scratchy, and had very little line variation for a stub.
After I tuned it up it's now a super-smooth, wet, excellent writer with lots of variation to spare!
Both jewels all fixed up and ready-to-go!

Way to go on the jewel replacement, you're not playing around now Tyler! ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Bruce! Jewel replacement isn't so bad after you get a good technique going!
