Two years ago I treated myself to a Pilot retractable pen after I dropped my Waterman while shopping and bent the nib about 45 degrees up, because the cap retaining mechanism was shot. My pen store guy said it's not fixable. But I was able to manipulate the nib back so that I can still use it at my desk where it doesn't matter if the cap is loose. -- Alan Alan Magayne-Roshak, Senior Photographer University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Photo Services (Retired) UPAA Photographer of the Year 1978 UPAA Master of the Profession 2014 amr3 at uwm.edu http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Alan+Magayne-Roshak/ "All the technique in the world doesn't compensate for an inability to notice.
