I have a taper-less John Holland #2 nib in its ferrule. You can see there are remnants of the mother of pearl taper still inside the back end where, I assume, it snapped off. (Probably wasn’t difficult to do….these things are so tiny!) Does anyone know if the MOP tapers were glued into the ferrule? I haven’t attempted to pry it out just yet, but I would like to replace the taper if possible. I don’t know how to affix it, though….what kind of adhesive (if any) would they have used back then? Thanks for any help you can give!

Santini Calypso Mother-of-Pearl piston-filler
A Smug Dill posted a gallery image in FPN Image Albums
From the album: European pens
Calypso Mother-of-Pearl piston-filler by Santini Italia, numbered 28/98. Most Santini pen models and colourways are expressly ‘limited edition’, presumably on account of not intending to produce or source more of a particular pattern of acrylic or ebonite for their pen bodies. There are other Santini pen models, for example the Atene, with the same core design; but the Calypso is the only one using mother-of-pearl for the panels on the faceted barrel, bracketed by muted blue ebonite parts of the body.© A Smug Dill
