Thanks very much for your so easy to follow demonstration. l bought a Scheafer's piston pen in 1969 in Australia, used it a lot living in the city but then left the pen with a friend and l moved to the desert country for a long time. when l came back to the city l'd forgotten how to fill the pen and l accidentaly broke it. l've had it repaired at great cost. Thanks for your demo. l shall't break it again.

I was searching for Joseph Dietzgen and this is the only result I got.

Thank you so much for this concise explanation. I have one dumb question: the piston "knob" stays in the counter-clockwise/open up position? Thank you for your time.

I had been using it the wrong way all along, thanks a lot

Thank you for sharing. Very useful. Finally get to use the pen sitting in office drawer for years.

I LOVE THE TASTE OF A GOOD 2003 VINTAGE INK

I still prefer my BiC

I have the MEISTERSTÜCK MONTBLANC DIAMOND LEGRAND FOUNTAIN PEN and it writes amazing, definitely worth the money if you're going for the classy design and write quality.

This is some good pen

Why is it he is using a thousand dollar pen, but a ten dollar video camera?

Wonderful to hear! Glad I could provide the answer prior to 31 years going by. :-) I hope you find your pen, as I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Back in the 80s I bought a Diplomat for about $300 as a novelty. I never knew how to fill it... tried a few times, but just now learned... 30 years later... that I was turning the plunger the wrong way. Now, I need to find where I put that thing! Thank you!

Thanks P Kelley. You'll have to contact Montblanc for nib exchange prices.

My pleasure germagic2. I'm glad that it was of help!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO FILL MY NEW PEN.

Hi Germagic2. One isn't necessarily 'better' than the other. I personally prefer fountain pens that fill from an ink bottle (that's half the fun!), and doing so helps to lubricate and clean the nib and feed. However, when traveling, nothing beats a cartridge for convenience. *Most* modern fountain pens are 'cartridge/converter' type, which allows you to use both.

what is better? Cartriges or piston pen?
