What Would Be A Good Price For A Masterpiece 644G?

Happy New Year everyone!

 

There is a Masterpiece 644G up for sale around here, and I'm really thinking about it.
The nib is EF and it looks nice, but the piston leaks at the top when its going down. Otherwise it moves smoothly and the pen takes up ink as it should.
So as it seems now, the cork seal needs to be replaced.

So what's one of these worth

 

And if 1 series pens, ie 14, 146 etc are first tier pens and 2 series pens, ie 24 are second tier pens and 3 series pens ie 34 are third tier pens what are 6 series pens like the 644?

Hi Paul,

That is a good question! I think it can't be a low tier pen with a telescopic piston system. I've read on the board somewhere, that this system was used in the 1 and 2 series pens, but not in the 3 series.

But hopefully someone can correct me.

Looks a nice and well conserved pen !

The 644 pens are definitively first tier pens, equipped with the famous telescopic filler

The telescopic filler was only used on first tier pens, only - a very short time - on the early 2341/2 pens

      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
