Montblanc 344 fountain pen - Restoration 

Огромное уважение! Приятно смотреть, как очередная ручка встает в строй)

That is a fantastic nib! These vintage nibs have so much character, especially compared to modern ones. This one probably has some nice flex to it too!

Great video. It is always a pleasure to watch fountain pen video. Especially that videos about restorations MB are rare. It seems to me that more expensive is a pen it is easier to repair it. More expensive pens tend to have threaded joints and parts fixtured in way that they could be removed. Where cheap pens joint are made "forever" that you could not disassemble them.

I fixed a Pelikan 500 of the same age without needing any special tools, but with Montblanc of course it can't be this easy.

Sir wonderful job on gone case all said and done you are too good in your profession no doubt by the which is the ink bottle looks good thanks god bless you

My 344, I believe, is a later model; everything is identical, save for the ink window (which is blue). The orange/sepia windows were earlier as I recall. Is that correct ? Fantastic restoration - Thank you !

Fantastic videos, thank you very much for producing them, they are a great resource! I bought a 344 on eBay and it leaked right where the thread meets the ink window (blue in my case). In trying to find out where the problem was I found out someone had previously glued the barrel at that spot and that's where it leaked. Unfortunately I broke the section, too, when I tried to separate section from barrel. Do you any idea what kind of glue I could use for the broken section and the part between section and ink window (I can't seem to find out what materials section and ink window are made of in my generation’s 344)? And do you just use water to clean out your barrel and section or is there something on these cotton swabs? Thank you very much and greetings from Vienna!

Thank you for another great video! It is amazing how you managed to renew the engraving on the cap finial. Despite attempting to do this a few times, I always ended up having to sand down the engraving. What tool do you use for this?

Thank you for this very instructional video. Two questions: what did you use to restore the white in the engravings (is it generally available); and was it really necessary to shellac the threaded section in (and why)? Thanks again.

Hell yeah for that extremely well done job. If I may ask about the liquid you used on the thread and the white product used on the letters. Regards from Sweden

Hello and great job! Please, can you tell me the name of that white bar you use ? Thank and regards.

What is the white paste you use to fill the logo?

Great video! I really enjoyed watching it.
