Aurora 88 broken in two

[jmccarty3]

Today I picked up an Aurora 88 that I hadn't used in a while. Went to unscrew the cap and the pen broke at the junction between the ink window and the barrel. The nib, section, and ink window are stuck inside the cap.

 

Is this something that needs to go to Italy, or is there someone here who can fix it?

 

Thanks very much!

Modern or vintage?  Pictures always help.

Ron, the pen is modern. Attached are photos of the damaged area.

No one has offered a solution, so will pack the pen up and send to Kenro. Costs $35US to get an estimate, which is applied to the repair.

I have had the same problem, TWICE, with my Aurora Africa pen & each time a trip to KENRO has resulted in my pens repair (after a trip to Italy.)

 

I am not happy for it to have happened twice, to the same pen but surely pleased by KENROs managing the situation. I wish you the same good luck with yours.

Wow. Did they make you pay for the repairs?
