What The "gap" Is This?!

[FitzadociousAtrocious]

I recently became the proud owner of a LE pen made by Visconti. However, I was dismayed that I got one of the (seemingly innumerable) pens that slipped passed their QC. I have a gap between the barrel and section - not large, not small - just big enough to be a visual blot on the landscape. You know the deal; a small imperfection that, once noticed, can never be forgotten.

 

My question is: is there a filling material I could apply to fill in the space? Should I take it to a jeweler and see what they say? Should I send it back to Visconti and hope I get it back in the next year?

 

Naturally I recognize it's a small thing but I paid a fair amount of doubloons for this thing, confound it! Any advice and info would be appreciated wholeheartedly.

If you just got the pen you should send it back to Visconti. Really. Having someone else repair it is risky, and would void the warranty,

 

Rather than ask "can I fill the gap" you should be asking "why is there a gap?" I would consider it to be a manufacturing defect, and given what it costs them to make the pen VS what the retail cost is for the pen, they should repair it under warranty.

What does the gap look like? Can you post a picture?

That really depends and pictures would be helpful.

 

If new, and defective, send it back.

Does the section unscrew to access a converter or cartridge?
