Hi there,

 

I have a 244G laying around on my desk and would like to disassemble it. I have thus used the search function but couldn't find a disassembly instruction.

 

Does anyone of you know how to take the 244G apart? Is the feed screwed in or friction fit?

 

Best greetings!

You don't know what you need until you realise you haven't got it.

Thank you for the replies so far.

 

Yet, the catalogues do not show whether the feed is screwed in or not. Looks like the feed is threaded...

 

And here is a picture of the Montblanc 244G 14K nib and feed:

Hi 4810,

The piston unit is screwed in the barrel with right hand screw thread.

One has to grip on the small riffled band at the end of the barrel to get it out.

I've made me a special set of narrow pinchers featuring a gripping hole on the diameter of the riffled ring.

I expect Montblanc used a similar tool, however one that features small teeth and cavities which mate with the riffled teeth/cavities

When opening the filling knob completely, one can alternatively grip on the diameter between barrel and filling knob, but also in this case one preferably need a set of pinchers featuring a gripping bore on the smaller diameter.

Using this method is however more delicate since the wall thickness is rather thin there, and one risks cracking the piston housing when applying a too high gripping force !

Hope this helps.

Francis

      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
