I was looking around on eBay and I noticed a restored Commando with a very nice nib. That, of course, isn't the point. What caught my eye was that the pen's barrel had broken in half and repairing it was part of the restoration process. I had exactly the same thing happen with my Commando. That makes me wonder...is this a thing? Has anyone else had this happen to their pen? A sudden, catastrophic breakage? Please share.

Is Mercury retrograde or something? I took out my Waterman Commando this evening, only to find the barrel broken in two. It had seemed a pretty sturdy pen, and apart from writing with it, it was not being roughly handled. What gives? Do these old darlings just BREAK?
