Hi Barney,
You may get more responses if this were posted over in the Fountain Pen forum here at IAP.
I have really been getting into fountain pens the past couple of years. There are a lot of people out there that do repairs. But since you mentioned the broken tine I would suggest Greg Minuskin. He is really good at doing physical repairs to nibs. http://gregminuskin.com/ I had him rework an Omas pen a couple of years ago, and I just can't say enough about the work he did. If it were just the re-sacking, I'd suggest you contact Old Griz (Tom Mullane) - he's still listed as a member here, just hasn't posted in a while. I bought a Sheaffer Snorkel set from him recently that he had rehabbed, and they were excellent! Or if you'd like to try doing it yourself, check out the Pen Repair forum over at the Fountain Pen Network (FPN) - http://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php?showforum=21 .
What kind of pen is it? Any pictures?
Scott.
