Vac and Challenger on the way

[Eddie Southgate]

Should have these in hand this week . I assume both will need restoration .

You appear to have a vacumatic nib in the Challenger. I have performed this upgrade once, when a friend broke her original nib, and I had a small 1940s Vacumatic that had been "fixed" with glue and so was unrestorable.

It appears to be the same nib as in the other Deluxe Challenger that I own as well as a Deb Challenger Deluxe I just got last week . Why do you think it is a Vac nib ? Both of the others are also button fillers .
