Omas Moma Pen - Broken Piston Knob


yarek

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

 

Some time ago, I managed to broke my Omas MoMA pen - it felt off the table and hit the floor. The piston knob broke and detached from the pen. No other demage found.

 

As Omas after sales service no longer reachable (when they still were or at least still replied to e-mails I sent them the pen but the package was never delivered) I would like to know my options. For me MoMA is a holly grail pen - hunted for that one for some time, to find the one with F nib and silver fittings (which was btw. bought by a fellow FPNer and then mailed to me - awesome!). So, if there is anything to bring the pen to it's former glory, I would be willing to try.

 

So, can you please recommend someone that could be albe to repair my pen? All advices will be highly appreciated.

 

Thanks!

Sorry, but the pictures ar rather vague

Do I see it right when stating the female threads broke-off from the filling knob and the broken off threads are still sitting in the barrel ?

Yes, I think that is the case - at least it looks like from my amatour inspection. I think that the threads that go into the piston are still there. The know fell off and the part on which it should be mounted is still inside. To my understanding the perfect solution would be to replace the part on the top of the screw lets say and mount the knob again on it.

 

I hope it makes sense.

 

 

Thanks,

Looks repairable to me , but probably these parts are still available.

Please contact Tom Westerich ( Penboard ) in Italy, he might have the part available.

      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
