Mallat 585 Vintage Fountain Pen Piston Filler Problem
xxXTheGodfatherXxx posted a topic in Repair Q&A
Hello, fellow FP lovers! I have a problem with a Mallat 585 (at least I think that is what it's called- it says Mallat on the nib) It's a piston filler, like many other vintage FP's. When I turn the piston knob I can feel a bit of resistance and then it just skips. But the piston itself never moves. In my country there are no nibmeisters or FP repair services since fountain pens, unfortunately died out in this country a long time ago. I have not found a way to disassemble it so far. I can't take out the nib, or the piston. I am suspecting that the connection between the piston knob and the piston itself is broken somewhere. This was a gift from my grandpa who passed away a bit more than a year ago. If you know if I could disassemble it in any way, please tell me how. For your convenience I will include pictures of the pen itself.
