I finally got around to figuring out how to open up an old, no-name, black, piston-filler pen that was given to me as a gift. It's probably a cheap German student pen from the 60s or 70s, with a fine, springy, steel nib. The piston was frozen in place, but once I got everything dissembled, it was an easy job to lube up the rubber piston seals and the piston rod with silicone grease. It's now filling smoothly with no leaks or binding. I filled it with Organics Studio "Blue Merle" (a blue/black/gray) and it's writing quite nicely.

For the first time in how many years? [emoji6]My pocket is empty, I forgot to grab them this morning
I think disciplinary action is required for this flagrant infraction.
Mods, how about it?
