Hi there. I'm looking for replacement parts for a pen, which I'm not sure of the brand. This pen was bought for me from a tabac in Beziers, France. It's a cheap pen, but I took it with me on a holiday in Europe and it worked like a dream. When I returned, I couldn't find the occasion to write with it, so it fell out of use for a few months. I picked it up again recently, and found that it is not working like it used to. The pen will draw ink from the cartridge, and will write for two or three lines, but then will run dry. If I remove and replace the cartridge, it will then do the same thing again. I thoroughly cleaned the insides, thinking that was the issue, but the problem remained. I bought new and different inks, but they all had the same issue. I then took it to T Sharps, my local pen shop, and they said the insides were clean, and that the problem was with the nib, which seemed damaged. I do not remember dropping it, but I'm pretty rough with my pens, and the nib does look a bit damaged, so I agree that the nib is the problem. I was then told that they could not do repairs, as they were not sure of the brand of the pen. (It has Enzo Varini written on the cap, but that is the only identifier, and a quick google search shows no results of a pen brand of that name.) They also did not have any replacement parts, as they said these types of pens are generally hand made with random parts from other pens. I am quite eager to have this pen fixed, and was wondering if anybody had seen a pen like this, or knew where to get replacement parts. I would be happy to replace all of it, as long I could still use the case. Thank you for any help you can provide, Adam
