Staedtler Tradition 4228

[MaxVogel]

Hello

 

I am new here and many thanks for your support already now.

 

I got hold on an old STAEDTLER Tradition 4228, but the nip is too much inside the holder.

 

My question is if the nib is fixed with a thread or if it is mated.

 

Any additional information about this fountain pen are very welcomed, especially how the mechanic for filling the pen can be disassembled and assembled.

 

Best regards

Max

In the above post, it says that the nib unscrews like an Esterbrook nib in the last reply.

Hope that helps.

Dont know anything about this pen but the barrel looks like a version of the telescopic piston on some vintage MBs like the 234 1/2 or 232 or so. Basically on those pens you grab that band over the blind cap and turn counter clockwise and it unscrews the piston. But, I dont know if that will work on your pen or not

Hello

 

Thanks, it worked exactly like for the Esterbrook. Thumb and index finger around the nib and screw the holder counter clockwise and you get it out.

 

The piston can be screwed out by touching the band as described above.

 

So, I got. Let's see how assembling runs.

Hello Agian

 

It came as it should have come.

 

I have problems to fix the ring on to of nib and feed: What is the best way to bring the nib in right position on the feed and place the ring correctly to hold both things?

 

Many thanks for your kind support.

Nice! Well done!

 

By ring do you mean section. Well, next time onwards, you want to mark the position of the nib and feed on the sections so that you push it into the exact same spot it cane out from.

 

Look for some kind of marks inside the section that tell you where the nib and feed were sitting for decades and try to push them back in there.

I assembled the pen and also fixed the nib.

 

But, I learned that the cork seal is not creating the needed force to suck in the ink. So, I need a new cork seal.
