One of the two Roman Harvests I made last week, specifically the rhodium with Black Ti accents had a breakdown today. I picked up the pen to give it a polish before putting it in it's presentation box and the clip finial came off leaving the part that fits into the tube, in the tube and the clip was separated. I will tell David, but I don't have time for a replacement so I have reassembled it using CA to get it into position and then using a drinking straw to keep things neat and tidy I drizzled epoxy into the the end. It should be okay as there is an opening that will allow the epoxy to reach all relevant parts to form a bond. I was a bit stunned and I will certainly be looking closely at them in future, although I have never had it happen before.
