How to re-build Montblanc 262 cap star logo and Nib-feed realignment

Recommended Posts

Hi hobby friends!

 

I just purchased a Montblanc 262, I didnt do any test to know the composition of the pen (celluloid, PMMA, etc) yet.

ISSUE 1: the black part of the cap star logo is missed (see photo).

What are you recommendation to rebuild it? Black celluloid-MEK slurry applied layer by layer and then sand it? Epoxy+ pigment and then sand it? PMMA-solvent applied layer by layer and then sand it? other option?

Should I disassemble the cap before rebuild the star or Can I rebuild it just as is?

 

ISSUE 2: The other problem is that I see a misalignment between the nib and feed. I suspect that I have to remove the feed+nib  first and then use a block to separate the nib from the feed for a later realignment. Is that right? (see picture)

Any detail (solvent, methodology, step by step, etc) is greatly appreciated.

 

Regards!

I can’t tell much from the pics but I think you want here is a replacement cap top star part. See pic attached. Best way is to source a spare. Tom W. from penboard.de is usually the man I turn to for spares. About the nib, it doesn’t seem to be an issue unless you have tested writing and have a concern. Removing it requires a tool that engages notches at the top. You can find articles about it by searching for disassembly of 252 or 254 nib (they work the same). I hope this helps. All the best, and enjoy this wonderful pen :)

      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
