[Leica] IMGs: Friday's flora, fungi and old stuff

[Douglas Barry]

Thanks George,
I had a look at that link and will have a crack at repairing it. Looking at 
eBay, the pen doesn't seem to be worth much but it does have sentimental 
value, so I might as well have a go. Youtube seems to be well populated by 
pen repair videos!
