Here is what can happen if you don't take care when returning your Triumph pen into its cap.

I wasn't aware of the damage until much later when I recently put pen to paper. I had no recollection of dropping the pen. An expert whose skill brought about a happy result and prefers to remain unnamed concluded the nib was caught in the edge of the inner cap. My carelessness had twisted the tines.
Now, all is well again. Lessons are still to be learned, even after decades of collecting.

What a shock that must have been when you uncapped it to use it next.
