A few weeks ago I visited the Penshow in Köln (Germany) and I was able to score some nice old restorable pens there.

I have been working on them so here is one for sale on FPG.
Cleaned it, repaired the piston filling system and gave it a new rubber seal.
Nice, functional and affordable user grade pen.
Please also check my other recent classifieds on FPG for some more low priced vintage pens.

Being German, and always ready for an Argument, or a flock of Pelikans, I only regret to have caught this at its tail end - sorry if I'm somewhat of a Lam(e)y when it comes to puns, but this ain't exactly the pinnacle of Montblanc regarding witticisms...

Anyway the new owner will have a conversation piece using his new pen during the next argument he encounters.
Thanks everyone for one of the funniest sales on FPG. :bounce:
