I think you will find it has changed since then if you ever come down again. If you do, let me know!

Very nice. Can you do this for Pelikan M1000?

Sorry I do not own a Pelikan.

Great work, and really helpful because airport security once in a while wants to check out a fountain pen with all metal body; honour is due!

I have to say, as a pen enthusiast and a senior nursing student, I find this extremely interesting! Props to you for the idea and great pictures too!  I'd love to see more! Now we just need CT with contrast in the converters/pistons instead of ink😉

What a wonderful resource! It never fails to amaze me what I learn here on FPN and this has afforded me the opportunity to view some of my favourite pens vicariously through your efforts @omarcenaro - well done!

The X-rays are darn cool. Thank you.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Very interesting! I just got one from a friend - however the tail cap is broken and that spring in missing and the cartridge carrier is stuck inside the pen body.

 

So is there any thing else that hold the cartridge carrier to the tail cap? A spring...and is there a screw as well?

So glad that the images helped in your repair.

      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

      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
