    Default Hi everyone

    Hello,

    Recently I started to get interested in fountainpens, my Father-In-Law writes with them. I tried them and, well here we are...
    A few weeks ago I impulsively bought my first pen, a vintage. It's not that well known, Matador, and I probably should have done some more research beforehand. I'm a little afraid trying it out but I plan on cleaning and trying to fill it next week after watching some video's. Hope I'm not in over my head.

    Thank you for trying to help! I'll try to find some info and instructions on how to handle and clean the pen. It's a piston filler so I guess a vintage piston video will be the start of my journey.

    Welcome. Before trying ink, see if the pen can fill and release with plain water.
    My other pen is a Montblanc.

    And my other blog is a tumblr!

    Hello and welcome

    Matadors are very nice pens - I have a couple of very plain ones, but would love one of the interesting celluloids. As Sailor Kenshin says, try just plain water first, that may be all it needs.

    Thank you all!
    The pen is a Click, not some fancy model but I'm happy with it. I'll try water first. The add said the pen was in working condition, so fingers crossed.
