Hello everyone, I am looking for an exchange nib for my Meisterstück 72. The fountain pen was manufactured in the 60s. I have already contacted the Monteblanc customer service, but they told me that they do not produce nibs for such an old pen and that they cannot help me at all. Does anyone know a fitting nib of another pen model or from another brand? It does not need to be a gold nib. Thanks, Markus

Hi all, I've recently purchased what I believe to be a Waterman Ideal Fountain Pen No.72 (as this is what it says on the end of the pen). However when doing a little bit of research this pen is an eyedropper. As per https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php/topic/166965-waterman-72-12-bhr-eyedropper/ On the barrel of my pen is written: PAT D.1884 May 23,1899 Waterman's Ideal Fountain Pen Penny USA Aug 4-19 (and then it's either 03 or 23 as it's worn away). I ran it under the cold tap to wash off the dry ink and it's working like a charm. The problem I'm having is unscrewing the base, as I'm assuming I will need to to refill the ink. It looks like it's not meant to unscrew and certainty doesn't want to if it is. Is there a model 72 which is a dip pen...and if not is there a way to loosen it up a bit to manage to unscrew it? I've uploaded a few pictures; however my camera's not great. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
