Just a bit of info for anyone else lucky enough to own one of these beautiful pens which may need repairing(I actually have FP/MP set). I have always had trouble with filling the FP using the piston filler, so had been taking-out the nib and using a hypo needle! (Not too onerous, as it holds SO much ink!). I thought I just wasn't operating it correctly! However, Oxonian got his hands on it and said that the filler was faulty ... wasn't just my incompetence .... and he suggested that just maybe Tibalde themselves would repair it. (I have to admit to some pessimism!) Anyway, I asked the lovely Susanna, at pens.it, for advice, and she very helpfully discovered from Montegrappa, (who have, apparently swallowed-up Tibalde), that I could get it fixed by their representatives in Spain (Univex SL, in Barcelona). So far, I have exchanged emails with Univex (with the kind assistance of Ondina in getting the right Spanish 'form of wording'!), and they have said words to the effect "Send it and we'll fix it". So far so good The pen is being returned to Spain next week, so willthen be on its way to Barcelona ... watch this space! Thanks to all my helpers so far ... fingers crossed for me please
