I think you will find it has changed since then if you ever come down again. If you do, let me know!

Very nice. Can you do this for Pelikan M1000?

Sorry I do not own a Pelikan.

Great work, and really helpful because airport security once in a while wants to check out a fountain pen with all metal body; honour is due!

I have to say, as a pen enthusiast and a senior nursing student, I find this extremely interesting! Props to you for the idea and great pictures too!  I'd love to see more! Now we just need CT with contrast in the converters/pistons instead of ink😉

What a wonderful resource! It never fails to amaze me what I learn here on FPN and this has afforded me the opportunity to view some of my favourite pens vicariously through your efforts @omarcenaro - well done!

The X-rays are darn cool. Thank you.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

Very interesting! I just got one from a friend - however the tail cap is broken and that spring in missing and the cartridge carrier is stuck inside the pen body.

 

So is there any thing else that hold the cartridge carrier to the tail cap? A spring...and is there a screw as well?

So glad that the images helped in your repair.
