I've just noticed my personal Statesman FP has very tiny spots of what looks like corrosion on the Rhodium section that holds the nib. None anywhere else, finial, clip and CB all look just like the day I made it. I know CSUSA will probably make this good but my question is WHY? I'm just throwing an idea out here but is it possible that the ink I was using had something corrosive in it as it's only where the plating was inside the cap. The pen sits on my desk and isn't used on a daily basis so the cap stays on for long periods of time.
If this is the case do I need to clean the pen out if it's going to be left unused for awhile. BTW it was Mont Blanc ink.
I've never seen this addressed so I was just wondering.
