I removed the filling system, cleaned the internal components, and greased the piston seal. I also tested the filling mechanism with water and it fills correctly. The Piston Filling System is functioning properly as intended. The Montblanc nib offered on this fountain pen is an 18K/750 Bi-Color NIB that writes very smoothly. The 18K Montblanc Nib writes with a very smooth “wet” line. The nib has a Medium point measuring roughly. 85mm when measured with digital calipers. When creating a writing sample, the NIB writes with a medium to broad stroke/line. The fountain pen’s writing sample provided in the images ranges from a medium stroke measuring at. 70mm to a broad stroke of 1.00mm with medium to firm pressure when measured with digital calipers. The writing sample was done with the actual pen in the images listed for sale. The writing sample was used by dipping the NIB in Montblanc Blue-Black Ink.
