Correct. It's a piston filler. Anyway, judging form the rear of the hood, there is no cartdrige to fit there.

 

I'm sad that it misses the metal ring in mine, and threading de hood in the barrel, even squeezing it tight, the gap from metal ring could be noticed :wacko:

 

The ring was part of the cap closure system IIRC and it's likely the cap will not be secure and the nib may dry out more without it.

 

I see. I have either a Lamy ratio (100% like de L6 in the photo: http://pointythings.com/pens/noslamy.php) that have the exact same ring, and I got it's function.

Should it be easy for me to find a ring for my monte rosa? So I could restore it and put it to work?

I'd PM maxpens or Fountainbel and see if they have a replacement.

Depending on your time frame I can mail you the card of the person who restored a few pens for me. I should be back in portugal by the 18th of January.

That would be very nice GRJP, because I have other pens that need to be restored too. I'll wait for that contact, please.

Thanks

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
