What now...I tell you what now.....I can send it to someone else to try to get the pen fixed.......or I can buy a new nib at $500+.
Or I can chuck it in the draw and try to forget about the whole darn thing.

The last option is the least painful

Sorry to hear Steve....
Maybe a few of these will soften the blow.

Steve, send it to John Mottishaw and get it fixed.
He has express service.
Or, you want to sell it? :)

All this time and not even a kiss first huh?
That bites!

I think Kai's suggestion sounds like the path forward.
Hang in there.

Thanks for all the replies guys....
I might ask Sean to see what he suggests
However, I don't think I will get a better answer than Kai's.
I should have sent it to the nib-meister in the first place
