It's got to be a full price new pen, with lots of sympathy and a lesson learned:thumbs:

I saw the pen today!
I was quite pleased with the way it looked. The Walnut body had darkened slightly since it was made, but this gave it a bit more depth to the grain. The finish was great, it had that look of a well used pen, no wear (as in damage), but a nice patina, quite deep and rich.
The end cap was unscrewed to reveal........ NOTHING!

He's binned the whole working end of the pen!:vangry::rant::rant::rant:

At the very least, I would have expected it to come back complete (in some way), so I could inspect the damage. I would also have liked to see how his mutilation had affected the plating, but this is not to be, as it is in landfill!

I can see you are not Happy are you Grumpy to be sure you'r not dopey or one of the others :funny:

When I first saw this post, it reminded me of a friend who is very short and a lorry driver. One day a car drove into him causing a bit of damage. He got out and whilst walking over to the car he said "I'm not happy!"... the man in the car replied "which one are you then?"

:funny::funny::funny:

urban myth or true... you decide :funny:

I would refuse to replace anything for free unless the damage could be shown and it wasn't your fault. He needs to send it all or pay for a new one.

Luckily Walter is coming to the rescue with a replacement!:thumbs:

Thanks Walter.

I can't avoid the idiot as he is a site manager at the school!

He will be paying for the repair, and I won't be doing any business with him again.
It's not worth the hassle.

I had the impression he was remote from you when you have the indignity of contact at work, thank goodness for school breaks. After the get together at the school surely he must have seen other pens made by you around the school as well. Very sad.
