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.

That reminds me of the Big Edison thread that Fred started some time ago:

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