    Heat it up; usually it will return to its original form.
    I've heard/read the same thing. Is that with a heat gun at low temperature?

    What do you suggest?

    Thanks.
    Constantly rotate the pen as you apply heat.

    It has a firm F nib. I wanted it for its beauty and the pneumatic filler, more so than its nib.
