Interesting Issue With The Sheaffer 100 Cap

[Compa]

A little more than a month ago, I bought a Sheaffer 100

Writting with this FP has made the "chore of writting" into something I'm really looking forward... too bad I'm a software developer and most of the time I'm on my computer's keyboard.Still, I write some. We sell SAP Business One and oftenly I go to visit a client and have to take down notes

 

Anyways, the FP.

I bought the Sheaffer 100 and I love it... except for one thing: The cap.

To be more specific, the way the cap feels when it's closed. My FP's cap has a little jiggling. I don't know if this is normal, is not really annoying but I wonder if there is a way to fix it because the cap seems to be wearing down the body and is leaving a thin line (as shown in the picture).

 

This doesn't mean the pen is not secure once closed. It fits and has never sliped, but the jiggling is there and (to give you an idea of how it is) if I pick up the pen from the cap and perform a pendulum movement, you can hear a "click click click click" (the sound of the body hitting the cap at the bottom of it)

 

It is as if the cap's hole were a bit bigger than the pen's body.

Has anyone experienced this issue with the Sheaffer 100?

I do not know, I dont have that problem, but some other one, it simply doesnt write! Repeated soakings, washings..problem still continues.

Really? O.o

That's weird, I haven't had a problem with the pen.

Maybe you got a defective one? Sorry to hear that you have a writting problem with your pen... your issue is much worse than mine >__<

 

Have you tried to contact Customer service?

I hope you manage to make your sheaffer 100 write :/

Have you triple checked to make sure it isn't the converter (if you have one) that is not completely snug, as opposed to the pen itself? I have two of the Friends of Winter pens from Sheaffer (which are 100s) and cannot replicate the sound/feel you described.

The pen writing well when dipped in ink. And is smooth also. The cap doesnt have that problem as described by compo.
