Hi I am Neil from Kolkata India. Excited to join the FPN and look forward to interacting on this forum. Just got up a vintage 149 in bad shape and need advice on the same.post-138167-0-96193500-1501844018_thumb.jpgpost-138167-0-28711300-1501844039_thumb.jpgpost-138167-0-79585600-1501844075_thumb.jpgpost-138167-0-33763600-1501844097_thumb.jpgpost-138167-0-33763600-1501844097_thumb.jpgpost-138167-0-33763600-1501844097_thumb.jpgpost-138167-0-55578000-1501844162_thumb.jpgpost-138167-0-29230800-1501844200_thumb.jpgpost-138167-0-12406600-1501844227_thumb.jpgpost-138167-0-61518600-1501844240_thumb.jpgpost-138167-0-06142500-1501844260_thumb.jpg

Hello and welcome to FPN. :W2FPN:

 

It looks like you need to find someone who can fix your cap and your barrel threads. I'm not sure that Montblanc can because your pen is a vintage version

Please suggest where I could get it done.

Welcome aboard, from Charleston, SC. You might try posting under the Mont Blanc subforum.

Greetings and welcome to FPN. Contact Mr. Ron Zorn for the repair. I think he does this kind of repair. He is a member and a mod (of the 'Repair Q&A' subforum) over here. I would post the link to his website later when I find it.

You're probably going to have to replace some parts. But hold on the the nib. See the Montblanc forum, as recommended above. Read carefully before deciding to send your nib away . . . lest you receive a non-vintage replacement and no explanation except, "It's too late..."

 

Enjoy! Pen finds and repairs are exciting!

Welcome !

 

The pen has endured some rough treatment, in its lifetime. I would suggest extreme neglect, rather than abuse. It is likely that the piston mechanism should be serviced. Don't use force in making anything move. Good luck.

Hello Neil and welcome to FPN, from Cape Town, South Africa.

To sit at one's table on a sunny morning, with four clear hours of uninterruptible security, plenty of nice white paper, and a [fountain] pen - that is true happiness!

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
