So I dropped my Sailor 1911 Extra-fine 21K nib whilst cleaning.
The top of the nib now looks like a blob of melted silver.
I guess this was bound to happen at some point, but did it have to be the finest, softest nib that I own?
Anyway, what are my choices? Can I get the nib repaired, if not to the same EF that Sailor is famous for, then to a broader nib?
Or should I just buy a whole new nib unit (although I'm sure this is basically the same price as a new pen)?
It's only one of many pens, but I feel gutted anyway.
