Another entry in my restoration notes / journal:
This German piston filler is from a brand that I never heard of. Kreuzer (translated into "Cruiser" in English).
Made out of celluloid (or at least it feels the same as my Montblanc 344G which is celluloid) with a curious striated ink window. As in most cases, the old cork has gone dry and brittle, it can no longer help the pen to draw and retain ink.
One standout feature is the cap. It's very nicely made, and quite heavy. Maybe silver, although I can't find any STERLING or 925 markings anywhere.
The nib unit is very well made, it screws out like Pelikan. Oh and it writes in a nice F. German Fine, not Japanese.
I'll probably do a review and sketch later on, since this is the repair sub-forum.
