The second time I've gotten a fountain pen with a cartridge stuck wrong end up in the barrel.
The used one? Yeah, got a great deal on "needs repair." Only needed a small crochet hook to winkle it out.
But a NEW Kaweco sport?!
Yup. Wouldn't take a short international cart. Barrel wouldn't close.
I ordered some Kaweco carts but then got thinking about it.
Sure enough. Gave the barrel a tap on the desk and voila! Fresh cartridge.
Is this normal?
