Yesterday my girlfried returned from shopping with her sister and handed me an old German fountain pen that she got at an antique store.
This is the first pen that she has bought me, so it has sentimental value.
There are no identifying marks on the pen, and the nib is a generic Krupp stamped steel one with no tipping material. It writes beautifully by the way, a broad italic with good flex and butter smooth as long as you stay in the sweet spot.
This is the pen, but do not worry, it will be a good looking pen when I am finished.
I was able to remove the piston filling mechanism and it needs a new piston seal. Since it is a no-name pen, I am not sure how to go about finding a replacement seal. I have added a picture of the piston and seal.
If anyone knows what type of seal this even looks similar to so that I can start my search for a replacement I would very much appreciate it.
