Anyone have any info or idea about this pen? A friend found it in a random antique/thrift shop in Taylor's Falls, MN and gifted it to me. I've never seen anything like this before and am not sure what I even have.
I got an opus 88 Koloro a few months ago and it would hard start and skip, I thought it was just an issue with the pen model so I reached out to Jetpens. Jetpens sent me a new pen and made me go through quite the hassle quite frankly. When I received that replacement it also had the same issue! So I went a few months of not using it at all and buying Chinese pens (which are amazing btw I have an Asvine v126 and v800). Anyways about a week ago I was tired of having a $100 paper weight sitting around. I reached out to Opus 88 customer support and they were more than willing to send me a new pen. They sent it to me and I had to pay $20 on shipping tax and stuff. I receive the pen ink it up and… same thing happens.
I have gone through 3 opus 88 koloro’s and they all have had hard starting issues. Is this just an issue all fountain pens with an eye dropper filling system do or do JoWo nibs just suck and do this constantly?
Btw, I always have the blind cap all the way unscrewed when I write.
