I wonder if it's an artifact of injection moulding then. Does it stick out a bit?
Sorry been a bit useless with keeping up lately. It doesn't stick out. They're very clearly a scratch as plastic has been removed (divot rather than proud or debossed rather than embossed or indented rather than protruding.... sorry got a bit carried away there with the synonyms and antonyms ๐ ). All three blemishes are different too - different angles, curves, lengths and depths.
I decided not to sweat it any more though. Yes, it's annoying to have a scratched pen straight out of the box but it can't be replaced with something unscratched and the nib writes so smoothly it makes up for it ๐
