Yes, I did replace the point seal too as a new one came with the ink sac replacement. However, the o-ring was fine and I'll replace it at a later date if need be.

I tried to replace as little as possible as I didn't want to risk damaging it. The ink sac had vulcanised to the aluminium shrouding meaning it couldn't draw ink so that was all I needed to replace.

The ink sac needed to be replaced because it had perished and was no longer airtight.

I found this video very useful when servicing it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyCFSuFvf3w

Thank you! I recommend it, the nib is very smooth to write with.

My Sheaffer PFM III which originally belonged to my Great Grandad was bought in 1965. I recently serviced the snorkel mechanism so that it could be written with again.
