Lustraloy cap

cracks or deep scratches, and it is ready to write and with a smooth nib.

The pen has been
fully serviced

A new ply-glass sac and o-ring were installed. After assembling the pen, it was inspected, tested and the nib was adjusted. It writes nicely, with good flow and should be ready to write for many years.
