This is a family piece that nearly made it into the garbage in cleaning out my Grandmother's house. Fortunately, my mom had the foresight to save it.
The pen is currently on its way to Ron Zorn(who came highly recommended) for a sac replacement and general restoration. I know it's probably going to be the first of next year(at the earliest) before I see it again, but I'm really excited about getting this one back and using it-albeit carefully and occasionally. I dipped the nib and used it to write the enclosed repair note, so hopefully it will be an easy job to bring it back to top condition.
