Picked this up cheap off the eBay (which claimed to never have been inked, but clearly it was as I figured it would be).
Just got it this afternoon, cleaned it up and restored it. The sac pretty much just poured out of the pen once I unscrewed the nib unit.
The pressure bar was pretty rusted, sanded it down and polished it up and slipped it back in on the spacer, also had to resort to the hair dryer to get the grip out of the section.
The plastic seems to have shrunk in some areas, such as around the top of the cap as it shrunk in towards the inner cap. Seems to be more cosmetic than anything as the cap still screws on firm and doesn't seem to be an issue.
