I hope someone can help with this. I just finished a Sterling Silver Canadiana (very similar to a Cambridge) in Redheart for a client.He came to me and asked if the refil was supposed to push back into the nib while writing.
I checked it out and sure enough while writing with hardly any pressure, the pen would push back into the nib. The Canadiana refill is held forward with a small spring in the reciever. I compared it with the springs in my Baron's and Sedona's, as they use the same system. The spring in the Sedona is slightly larger and exerts a little more pressure. However if you excert to much pressure it still pushes back into the nib. This is most notable if you write with the pen in an almost vertical position (which my client does).
Is there anything I can do to eliminate this. Is the only option, a larger spring?
Has anyone else had a problem with this and how did you deal with it?
Or most embarassing case, have I messed up the assy of the pen.
My client is not very happy considering the price tag, and I told him I will find a solution immediately.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
