I simply can't consistently get the cap on my Franklin-Christoph Model 20 to securely close! It doesn't have cracks or anything like that. I read somewhere that it's a "slip cap" rather than a "snap cap," which makes sense. I just don't understand why F-C designed it that way. I can't tell when it's actually closed. There have been a lot of times when I thought it was but then the pen just kind of falls off the cap, if that makes sense. Thankfully the pen is sturdy and doesn't get hurt, and it's never landed nib down. But it feels like it's only a matter of time until the nib gets hurt.
Could anyone please explain to me how to know when it's secure? Do I just need to try to open it again each time to see if there's resistance?
This may seem so basic, but I'm actually at my wit's end with using this pen because of this.
