I'm sooooo glad this didn't happen at a show in front of a customer or over my display table.
My carry and demo FP is a Jr Gent with a piston filler since I like to change ink fairly often. I was showing one of the cub scout parents the other night outside the scout house (luckily) and I started to take the lower section off to show the piston and copper ink just poured out of the barrel all over my hands and the ground. I swear it looked like blood all over my hands.
It was not showing any signs of a leak and thankfully no stains anywhere that I normally carry the pen. It was also writing fine up to that point.
Once I got it home and over a sink, I opened it up and the filler was still connected to the feed, but empty. Anyone have any thoughts as to how this might happen?
I rinsed and filled with water and couldn't find any obvious leaks. I'm really confused.
