Wonderful to learn that you use a fountain pen! I’m just south of Pittsburgh, check out one of our local fine ink and pen makers, Birmingham Pens. I love their pen and they have some nice ink colors. Family business.

I want to give credit to Jamie, a former student who is now a master bench jeweler, for doing the nib repair. She used her laser welder to fix the stress crack and put an amazing finish on the gold nib. This repair couldn’t have happened without her.
The Pen Sac Company supplied the new ink sac.

I decided to add a high polish to the ends of the cap and barrel. Originally they were messy where the injection molding just ended.

That’s what I’m getting into! I actually enjoy trying to restore them a lot. Started with my father-in-law’s Parker 61 he gave me. Then down on the rabbit hole! Lol.

The body of the pen was so dull and scratched. I removed the heavy scratches and polished it. I was too eager to start to document how bad it was. It has a very springy 14k nib. Might tune it, but it writes well as is.
