Vintage Pelikan 100 - Fine nib - Possible piston repair needed

Good day folks !! Hope you are all well.
I'm monitoring an auction of the pen in the title. I have two questions for you as I know there are a few Pelikan fans here :)

1) how fine is fine for this older pen model ? As fine as my EF Pelikan 120, that I didn't like at all, or not ?
2) Whom would I send it, in UK, to get the piston overhauled ?

Thank you
Marco

Which material is the nib? There were gold, chrome-nickel (CN) and palladium (marked Pd), all of which will possibly be more flexible than the 120's steel nib. It will likely be wider (and wetter) than your EF 120 @Marco63

Not sure who in England could fashion a cork seal on an early 100. Later 100s had the synthetic piston seal.
