It's not an expensive fix for a regular modern 146. Montblanc will replace everything to do with the piston, barrel and grip for a level 1 service charge. Bearing in mind all of the parts that will be replaced with new ones, it's a bargain price to get an almost new pen (excluding the nib and cap.)
