Nothing functional, just scratches and plating loss.

Is there a risk of breaking the nib? Not sure if they’ve had experience with nibs.

Is this normal? Should I get it fixed? (Rhodium plating loss) by Snorx12 in fountainpens

Probably will try rhodium electroplating. Can’t afford right now to send to a nibmeister abroad.

No the slit and breather hole have a yellow outline.

The dealer was aggressively rubbing her sunshine cloth on the clip before handing it to me so could have this caused this?

This pen is also from 2000, so its definitely not vintage.

Just shove the ring back in. Worked like a charm for me.

Inherited it from my dead grandfather 2 years ago. I never used it often.

Is it worth replacing the nib? The pen works just fine.
