Frankenswan Whole Again!

[missuslovett]

My Swan frankenpen is finally whole again! A little while ago I bought a black SF1 matched with a woodgrain section and cap. Now I've been fortunate enough to find an SF1 woodgrain Swan sporting a damaged lid. The various bits are now re-united and I have a lovely woodgrain pen. It's gifted with a beautiful NY nib that a previous owner had set in the section with a certain lack of subtlety and I didn't really feel confident enough to pull it all apart and fiddle with it. But thanks to the tender ministrations of Cob it's back to its lovely best - a smooth, flexy writer with brilliant snap-back. Thank you, Cob and one day I will learn how to photograph these bloody things properly!

Well I am glad that you are pleased with the pen which is a lovely example.

 

No pictures here though - have you tried the FPN upload facility?

My living room has very little natural light, in spite of huge windows and I don't own a lightbox. You're photos are much better than mine, Cob!

It great when things come together like this ... often just a case of being patient and watchful.

Well done!
