Crocodile
Need bottled ink
or refills?
"My crocodile pen writes smooth as
silk and is a perfect instrument as well as beautiful thank you very much for
your excellent service and fine pens." "Hello Norman, the pens arrived safe
and sound, and thank you for your care and attention to detail with the order. A
very nice presentation package! Also thank you for the guidance on how to keep
pens in good working order if they are not used for an extended period of time." "Dear Norman, the Green Marble
Crocodile pen arrived today, & it far exceeds my expectations. How they can
produce a pen of this quality and beauty for the price is beyond me. One
hesitation was the crocodile clip that I thought might be gaudy & cheap looking,
but in reality it adds a certain elegance to the pen that I really like. Most
important is the writing experience, and the ink flow and line are just right.
The Private Reserve American blue is a great color, and
looks to becoming one of my favorite daily inks. As always, Lai Yee has done
great work on the pen wrap, and that is also most
appreciated. Thanks also for the personal note. I know it takes your time, but I
always feel really good after receiving that...You have a great site, wonderful
products, and if I can be useful in promoting your business, it would pleasure
me greatly to do so. You give personal service that far surpasses anything I
have seen other places, and you certainly deserve to be supported for that. Warm
regards,"

The two-toned gold-plated steel nib is a light-medium, falling in between a typical western fine and medium. It's engraved with the Crocodile logo, just past the nib's breather hole. Beneath that it says '22K GP', 'CROCo' (on the second line) and 'Romedile'. That's another mystery to be solved!
IMPORTANT SERVICE NOTE: Every nib that ships from His Nibs is closely examined under high magnification and tuned or adjusted if needed. About 85% of modern nibs need some adjustment out-of-the-box from the manufacturer for an optimal writing experience. Most commonly, the tines of the nib are misaligned -- which would cause scratchiness at the minimum; the slit between the tines is partially or fully closed -- which would starve the nib of ink and at best cause skipping; or the slit between the tines is too wide -- which will either again cause skipping, or conversely, flooding. There are other factors -- such as separation of the nib from the feed -- that are inspected and repaired before any pen leaves the Palace.
The only 100% guarantee of course
comes when the pen is
actually filled with ink and written with for the first time, but our
pre-shipping inspections and tunings have eliminated 99.99999 (my finger is
getting tired) of the frustrations that a customer experiences when first using
a new fountain pen. Although this can be time-consuming on occasion, it affords
our customers a much more pleasant experience when receiving a fountain pen from
His Nibs -- and saves us the frustration of dealing with returns!

Warranties and returns If an item proves to be defective, in most cases the manufacturer's warranty will apply. However, please email us first so that we can determine the easiest way to resolve the problem to your satisfaction. In the case of fountain pens -- which are a bit more individualistic than other writing instruments -- what may at first appear to be a defect (hard starting or poor flow for example), can in almost all cases be resolved with a few simple 'tweaks' to the nib, which we'll be happy to guide you through or perhaps suggest returning to us for adjustment. Should you wish to return a non-defective
item within 3 days of receipt because it doesn't suit you for some reason, again
please email us and we'll arrange an exchange, credit or refund (minus any
shipping/insurance charges), if the item is returned in an 'as new' condition.
If you've dipped a fountain pen to try its writing characteristics, kindly clean
off any ink residue prior to shipping -- to save us both a nasty surprise
We want you to be happy with your purchase from HisNibs.com and hope to have you join the ranks of our many long-term, repeat customers!
