I've had this pen for 10 - 20 years and it's my favorite. I've been very careful with it, although the barrel has had to be replaced twice. The Fountain Pen Hospital has given me advice on caring for the pen -- use only Pelikan ink, store it wet with the nib facing up, clean it with water and not a commercial flush. I'm wary about unscrewing the nib. I've never even tried -- I'd hate to damage this pen.

Now I read that when cleaning this pen, it's a good idea to remove the nib and soak it. https://fountainpenlove.com/how-to/h...-fountain-pen/
Is there any harm in doing that?
