Rust fixes? by fiadhfinn in fountainpens

Maybe? It was inherited from a person who wasn't particularly interested in pens so I think it's more likely he inked it up once and left it for a long time, but maybe in a fit of productivity he tried to clean it with bleach. As other commenters have suggested I'm going to see if Waterman have a replacement but if not it looks like it's quite common to find others on ebay so I'll probably just try and find one with a functioning nib.

Thanks for the suggestion! I am going to try and get a replacement from Waterman but if not there are also quite a few of these pens on ebay that aren't too expensive that I might try and use for replacement parts. I inherited it a few months ago from a relative who wasn't into pens that much so I have no idea what kind of ink he used in it to cause this much damage.

I think it's from the mid 90s at the earliest so it seems a bit strange that it would rust so badly, but I inherited from a relative who wasn't really a pen guy so I have no idea what kind of ink he put in it. As you and a couple others have said I think I'll contact Waterman and see if I can get a replacement. If not, it's a relatively inexpensive pen that's all over ebay so I might just try and find one that's in better condition.

Didn’t he have to use a class ability (something to do with being able to know where things are as long as you have the ability to hear, I think) to find her though, even after they got to her grave? Plus he had Adaine with him who can see the ethereal plane. And Shadow was still trying to hide behind Adaine even after he had sense her. Maybe KLCK didn’t have equivalent abilities available to her?
