Purchased a Conklin Duraflex in the Endless Summer acrylic yesterday.
Today I noticed a large piece of the rose gold plating on the cap band has flaked away - I know this isn't a very expensive pen, but I am shocked that it happened within 24 hours of purchase and after one page of writing (unposted, so the cap was stationary on desk the whole time).
Anyone else experienced this with Conklin pens? I've reached out to Yafa to see whether this covered by the warranty, or whether I should go back to the retailer (an arts and crafts supply story which doesn't specialise in fountain pens). Any thoughts or comments are welcome.
