Unscrew Nib Montblanc 32

Ls,

 

I know there is a thread about dismantling montblancs in the 20/30 series. But it is not demonstrated how too “take-out” the nib of a mb 32. Should the be pulled towards the front or pushed backwards?

Greetings

There's a FPN thread on repairing the Montblanc 32 piston filler. I've never seen one, but the section unscrews for access to the piston, so it's quite likely the nib would come out of the front.

 

Someone else will come along who knows for certain though.

Unscrew the section. Then push the nib backwards into the section. It will exit from back of the section. You are asking about the intarsia nib version I hope. Post a pic of your pen.

Ohhhh darn, I should have searched for images of the pen model. I think all of those intarsia nib types go backwards into the section.

 

It's a good job that Hari is here. :)

Sometimes the nib is a very tight fit. You have to patiently nudge it out to the back. The feeder is a wonderfully machined ebonite item, springy and fragile. Handle it carefully.

 

Dont remove the nib unless it is required.

 

Good luck!

I use a rubber grip to gently push back the nib into the section - thumb on feed and forefinger wrapped around the nib. Push the feed part in. As soon as it dislodges then the nib will be freed too.

      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
